Our Allotments

The Town Council owns 145 plots across two sites in Bognor Regis:

  • Gravits Lane
  • Sandringham Way
Both sites are fully fenced and secured by locked gates, and have piped water supply (turned off over winter months). Our plots range in size from 24 sq.m. to 308 sq.m.

 

How to rent a plot
If you are interested in renting an allotment, and live in the five Wards of Bognor Regis, please fill in an application form (see right) or contact us by e-mail or phone on 01243 867744. We currently have a very high demand for allotments and there is a waiting list, which is operated on a first come, first served basis. We can put you on the waiting list and we will contact you as soon we have plots available.

 

Once a plot is available, you will be invited to attend a viewing and then to sign a Tenancy Agreement.

 

Am I eligible to apply?
Due to the high demand, the list is only open to Bognor Regis Town residents. You can see whether you live in the Wards of Bognor Regis on our maps here, or an interactive map here.

 

You should apply to your local council if you live outside the Town Council boundary.

 

How much does it cost?
The current rent for 2023/24 is £0.31 per sq.m.

 

Our rental year runs 1st October - 30th September, with renewals being sent out in September. Rent is paid annually, with those taking on an allotment part-way through the rental year being charged pro rata.

 

There is also a one-off Holding Fee Deposit of £40 for new Tenants.

 

Get involved
Each year awards are given for the Best Plot on each site, Best use of Plot, and Most Improved Plots on each site. In 2022 and 2023 we were grateful to Gardner & Scardifield for sponsoring the Plaques for all the winners.

 

Do you have surplus fruit/veg?

Tenants are reminded that they cannot sell excess produce at the Allotment Site. However, excess produce can be donated to charities in the town which help those in need, numbers below. If you have excess plants in Spring, you can organise a plant sale with other tenants but this must not be held on the Allotment Site.
