Structures and Water
Tenants will not without the written consent of the Council, erect or place or permit on the allotment plot any building, greenhouse, polythene tunnel or other structure except as permitted.
Sheds, greenhouses and other buildings should only be used for cultivating crops and storing tools and materials used on the plot. They may not be used for sleeping, or for any other purposes not associated with the plot cultivation.
Tenants that inherit sheds and other structures, that had been erected prior to January 2015 before the introduction of specific ruling or guidance and who wish to consider making alterations or erect a new one must seek written permission in advance from the Council. A Tenant must remove any structure within 30 days if requested to do so by the Council.
The Council cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss to a building or its contents, or to any produce being cultivated; Tenants may therefore wish to have insurance cover.
The allotments and site or any structures thereon must not be used for any illegal activity. Failure to comply will be considered a serious breach and the police will be informed.
Tenants may keep water butts or other water receptacles on the plot, but they must be securely covered. Hoses or sprinklers are not allowed except where required to fill water containers. Hosepipes or siphoning devices are not to be used to remove water from any water supply.
Any pond, tank or bath sited on the plot should be covered and kept in a safe manner.
