Allotment Sites in the Parish of Burstow

There are three allotment sites in the Parish, those being Plough Road Allotment site, Keepers Corner Allotment Site and Burstow Allotment Site located on the Surrey/Sussex border. It is the Council’s intention to regularise the Rules and Rates of Rents and at the same time establish an Association. In order to have time to put everything into place, on 1st January 2013 we will be introducing new rules of Letting for all our Tenants and are also serving notice of a rent rise to be phased in over two years from that date. We will be introducing a concessionary discount for those tenants aged 65 and older and who reside in the parish. There will be no subsidies for non-parish residents.

All tenants will be required to be members of the Smallfield Horticultural & Gardening Association group relevant to their allotment site and abide by the rules of that association, those being Plough Road, Keepers Corner and Burstow Allotments (formerly known as Hunters Moon)

We will be connecting Keepers Corner and Plough Road sites to mains water. Burstow Allotments have a well and will also have harvested rainwater from the development.

For this year any new tenants will be charged a rent of 20p per square meter – this will change on 1st January 2013, as mentioned above.

We have vacancies on Keepers Corner site, and after renovation there may be plots available on our Plough Road site. The waiting list is open to all residents of Burstow Parish, and there is a possibility of that list being extended to prospective tenants who reside outside the Parish, as in the case of Burstow Allotments, when the development has been completed and the works area is regenerated.
