4. Rules relating to buildings and other structures
A. Greenhouses, sheds and other structures including polytunnels or fruit cages must not be erected without
the prior approval of the Committee. Temporary structures, such as those made using canes and netting, and
structures less than 1.5 m in height, may be erected, but care must be taken to ensure they do not block
light from or otherwise interfere with neighbouring plots.
B. All buildings, fences and structures on a plot are the responsibility of the plot holder and should be
properly maintained to ensure they do not become dangerous.
C. When a tenant vacates an allotment with a shed, greenhouse or other structure in situ, that they have not
otherwise disposed of, they will have 2 weeks (or other such time at the discretion of the Committee) from
the date of notification, to either remove the said structures from the allotment site, or pass the
buildings to the next tenant of the plot. It is permissible for the tenant leaving the plot to negotiate a
reasonable price for these structures, commensurate with their age and condition, with the incoming plot
holder.
