Information about our allotments.
Taking on a plot can be rewarding but it’s challenging, tiring and fun. We hope that this information will help you decide if becoming a tenant is for you.
The Parish of Stokenchurch owns the Allotment sites in Stokenchurch Village and at Water End: the Council and its nominees are responsible for the allocation of plots and the general supervision of the sites for the benefit and amenity of the tenants.

How much is an allotment plot?

What can I grown on my allotment? Can I keep animals?
- We are happy for you to grow whatever you want on your allotment within reason and within the law. We would just ask that you give consideration to your neighbouring tenants when deciding what to plant.
- You must not keep livestock or poultry in the Allotment Garden.
How long will I have to wait before I get a plot?
- This depends on which site you are interested in. Some of our sites are more popular than others so the waiting lists on these may move more slowly than others. We can advise you on how long you would expect to wait when you get in touch, but most people wait for less than a year.
How do I apply for an allotment?
- If you would like to rent a plot, please e-mail clerk@stokenchurch-pc.gov.uk, Our Parish Clerk maintains a list of tenants and any waiting list for the allocation of plots. Priority is given to applicants resident in the Parish of Stokenchurch, although available plots may be let to applicants permanently resident in the immediate area.
