Ingatestone Allotment Association has plots available at their Stock Lane sites. Growing your own vegetables, fruit and flowers can be very rewarding and even become a profitable hobby and more interesting that going to the gym.
The Association was created to assume the management of the village allotments in 2014 when the Parish Council divested itself of the site. There have been allotments here since the Smallholding and Allotments Act 1907 and today the site covers just over 4.5 acres and is home to 77 allotment holders of all ages and levels of experience who currently maintain 92 plots.
How to rent an allotment
If you are interested in renting an allotment, please contact the Association.
We will discuss your requirements and show you available plots or put you on the waiting list, if there is one. Plots vary in size from 40sq.m. upwards and the water supply is from mains linked dip tanks around the site.
Prior to commencing your tenancy, you will need to sign and return a copy of the Association’s regulations, pay a year’s rental in advance, 28p per square metre held as of September 2016, and pay a £50 deposit which is returnable at the end of the tenancy if the plot is in good condition.
