Rent

If you do want to claim a reduced rent for your allotment in 2025, please complete the concession claim form (PDF) and send before 21 March to:

Email: [email protected]

Post:
Allotments
Estate Management
Britannia House
BD1 1HX

This will ensure the claim can be processed before the invoices are sent out.

If you claim a reduced rent concession for your allotment, please read this carefully.

The following concessions apply:

pensioners in receipt of a means tested benefit (Pension Credit)
unemployed and in receipt of Universal Credit or legacy benefit
disability and in receipt of Universal Credit, ESA (enhanced or severe disability premium) or legacy benefit

People receiving a state pension are not automatically entitled to a concession unless they are receiving a means tested benefit.

If you claim a concession as you are a pensioner in receipt of Pension Credit, are unemployed or have a disability and you receive benefits due to a low income, you must re-apply for the reduced rent if you want to claim it again for the next financial year.

Please complete the claim form and return this with evidence of your benefit entitlement to the Allotments Office before 1 March for the year you want to claim the reduction. This will ensure the claim can be processed before the invoices are sent out.

Your evidence of benefit entitlement must be from the DWP. This can be in letter format or a screenshot from your online account journal via the gov.uk website. Any evidence provided must include your personal details, details of your benefit entitlement and date of claim.

Your claim form will not be accepted if it is returned without proof of your benefit.

Your completed claim form must be received into the Allotment Office before 21 March for the year you want to claim the reduction. Any concession form received after 21 March will not be accepted, and you will be required to pay the full charge for your plot. Concession claims for a reduced rent cannot be backdated.

Giving up your plot

If you decide to give up your plot, you must let us know in writing either by email to [email protected] or letter to Allotments, Estate Management, Britannia House BD1 1HX before 31 March, otherwise you will still have to pay for the full year.

Please be aware that if you give up your tenancy for any reason, or if you forfeit your tenancy through non-cultivation, you are still required to pay the whole allotment bill.
