Applying for an Allotment

Before you apply for your first plot you should consider your health and physical ability and the time commitment you can make – an allotment can take a great deal of time, especially in the first few years and you will need to maintain your motivation.

To apply for an allotment, you will need to:

At present all of our plots are fully allocated however you can add your name to a waiting list by contact the Parks Administration Team via E. allotments@antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk or T. 028 9034 0139 (9am to 5pm – Monday to Friday).

When a plot becomes available we will contact you via the details provided, so please inform us of any changes or you could lose your place on the list.

Once you are contacted by us with an offer to view an allotment, you will have 14 days to visit the site and accept the plot before the offer is withdrawn.

It is always advisable to visit the site and see the plot before you sign the tenancy agreement so you can see exactly where it is and what condition it is in. Top tip: the weekend is usually a good time to visit!

If no response is received, we will assume that you are no longer interested in having an allotment and will remove your details from the waiting list.
