The Council owns 36 allotment sites and over 700 plots across the borough.
Types of allotment
Self-managed allotment sites
16 of the Council owned allotment sites are managed by allotment associations which have been set up by local people.
These associations manage their own waiting lists and collection of rentals. Applications need to go directly to the relevant allotment association, see: Allotment garden sites.
Council managed sites
Waiting lists and rents are managed by the Council. Applications should go to the Allotments Officer, stating exactly which sites are being applied for, see: Allotment garden sites.
Private allotment sites
There are a small number of private sites within Calderdale. These sites are not owned or managed by the Council.
As a plot becomes vacant the person will be contacted. It is important that you keep us updated with any changes in your contact details.
New plot holders will be required to sign an agreement setting out the rules for their tenancy of an allotment. Failure to comply with this agreement can lead to the tenancy being terminated.
The agreements may differ on self-managed sites. They should comply with the Allotments Act and clearly set out the rules for the site. Non cultivation is the most common reason for an allotment tenancy being terminated.
