Allotments

Allotments

The first allotment site in Whitehouse is due completion on 1 April 2025. This site will consist of approximately 120 plots of either 70 or 75 square metres.  Access to plots is likely the second week of April.

Where are they?

You can see the location of the new allotment site on a map here: https://w3w.co/lobster.outboard.flitting. Initially, access will be from Whaddon Road, opposite Whaddon Common Farm, MK19 6EN. In future, access will be possible from within Whitehouse, as the area is developed westward towards the allotments.

What’s the cost?

70 square metres: £8.33 per month (£100 per year).

75 square metres: £9.16 per month (£110 per year).

Updates

Due to insufficient water pressure from the planned water pipes, the delivery of the allotment site was significantly delayed.  A new supply route was identified and water is now present at the site.  Contractors are due to cultivate and turn over the soil once the area is dry.  Weather permitting, the allotment site is on track for completion on 1 April 2025.

A second allotment site will be coming in the future, although we do not have any details of the timeline for this at the moment.

Eligibility

Allotment plots will be offered to Whitehouse residents only and in general, only one plot per household.  However, on the proviso that there is no one on the waiting list, the Council may approve a second plot per Whitehouse household.  There is no guarantee that two plots offered to one household will be adjacent to each other.

Gaining Access to the Allotment Site

Tenants will be provided with a security code to access the allotment site.  We require that tenants do not pass the security code to anyone other than a household member.  The security code will be changed periodically for security reasons.

Sheds

Terms and conditions apply. Tenants are allowed to erect sheds and any possessions are stored at the tenant’s own risk.  Whitehouse Community Council will not be responsible for any loss of possessions or damage to any structure.
