Plots are a minimum of 2 poles in size. Our smallest available plot is 2.5 poles in size.

As an example, a 5 pole plot will cost £132.20 for Brent residents, £99.35 for Brent residents with a concession, and £185.00 for a Non-Brent resident.

Plots are allocated in the order that they become available and we cannot guarantee the size of the plot offered.

Please note that due to the number of people already on our waiting lists, if you do not wish to accept a plot that is offered to you, you will be removed from our waiting list to allow the plot to be offered to the person next on the list.

All our charges for an allotment plot are based on a charge per pole, which is a measurement of 25.29m2.

If you are an existing allotment holder you must pay for your plot each April either using our online booking form or direct debit. You will be allocated a unique customer ID to make this payment.

If you are a new plot holder, you will be able to pay for your plot, once you have signed and returned the tenancy agreement. Please be advised it is very important that as a plot holder your contact details are up to date and you make us aware of any change in telephone number or address.

We offer a discount of 25% off the annual rent of a single plot (up to 5 poles), if you are a Brent Resident and:

• over 60 or
• receive unemployment benefits or
• receive disability benefits. 

To claim your discount please e-mail us at allotments@brent.gov.uk with evidence of proof of age or benefit entitlement.

Once proof has been validated, you will be refunded 25% of the cost of a single plot (up to 5 poles).

Direct Debit is a quick and easy way to pay your Allotments fees on a yearly basis. You’ll be told in advance how much will be collected, and payments are taken automatically two weeks after the invoice date.

You are also protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee, which promises that you will get your money back straight away if anything goes wrong.
