Tudor Allotment Association (TAA)
Probationary Period
All new allotment holders will be given a probationary period of one year.
During this time they will be required to cultivate a minimum of 75% of their plot. The plot must be kept in good order and weed-free.
They are granted their plot on a temporary period only for this time and will only be granted ‘permanent status’ upon the successful completion of this probationary period.
During this time they may not plant a tree, nor erect a shed, greenhouse or polytunnel.
Their progress will be regularly monitored by the site supervisors who are happy to offer advice and support but who should not need to chase or remind the new member about the need to maintain their plot.
At the end of the year the site supervisors will jointly decide whether to agree to the permanent keeping of the plot or whether to terminate the probation and re-allocate the plot to the next person on the waiting list.
Conditions of Letting
- Plots should be used solely for gardening and must be kept free of weeds, rubbish and long grass. Unwanted plant material should be composted and dug in to minimise the use of bonfires. Rubbish should not be brought on to the site. Roads and paths between abutting plots must not be encroached upon.
- Plot holders must not cause nuisance to other plot holders or to occupiers of adjacent property with bonfires, which must be fully extinguished before leaving the site. (Bonfires are banned between 1st April and 31st October)
- Annual rents are payable in advance at a time and place appointed by the Committee, who may re-let plots for which rents have not been paid after 40 days of the appointed date.
- Plots cannot be transferred or sub-let without the agreement of the Committee.
- The Committee reserves the right to revise the conditions pertaining to the letting of plots, including re-measuring.
- The Committee may issue a notice to plot holders whose plots are not kept in a satisfactory condition to surrender them.
- In the interests of security access gates must be locked on entry and exit from the site.
