“The changes will help to keep plots manageable, promote animal welfare and balance the need for fairness with keeping each site tidy.

Excerpt:
Key proposals include giving existing tenants the right to keep caravans on plots until the end of their tenancy or until the caravan becomes unusable.
The council also plans to clarify that greenhouses and polytunnels count towards the required 50 per cent cultivation area on each plot.
Revised guidance would limit fruit crops to no more than a quarter of each plot.
Animal welfare rules are also set for review, ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation for tenants permitted to keep animals such as hens, pigeons, rabbits, ducks, and geese.
The proposed changes would also prevent animals from occupying more than half of a plot or causing a nuisance or health risk.
Additional proposals include allowing larger pigeon lofts and adjusting rules on allotment succession.
Currently, tenants may register one co-worker per plot, and after five years, the co-worker gains the right to take over the allotment if the original tenant leaves.
