Allotments waiting list

Waiting lists for all our sites are open. 

Keeping the lists open allows us to track demand for allotments. Please note, the waiting time for most sites is over 5 years, and for our medium to small sites it's much longer than that.

The information on this page explains the demand and likely waiting times for each site. It will be updated twice a year in spring and autumn. At the bottom of this page, you can see when it was last updated.

Applying for a site

You can only apply for one allotment site

Once you've decided which site you want to apply for, you should complete our application form.

You will get an automatic acknowledgement with a reference. Keep this safe as it's your record of your application.
