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.
