1st April 2019 to 31st March 2020

We are advised that there has been no increase in allotments rents since year 2017/18 as detailed below but please check this with the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Allotment fees can be found on their website here

1st April 2017 to 31st March 2018

Allotment charges for 2017/18 are to remain broadly the same as in the previous two years although it appears that the concessionary rate has gone up by £2 a rod per year which would mean an additional £10 per annum for the 'average' 5 rod plot:

£20 per rod for Greenwich borough residents, out of borough residents pay £40 per rod, and over 65's and other concesions the rent reduces to £12 per rod.

 

More detail on the above is available on the RBG website here

1st April 2016 to 31st March 2017

Rental charges per rod (see below for definition of a rod)

 

Greenwich borough residents:

  • normal rate - £20
  • concessionary rate - £10.

Non-borough residents:

  • normal rate - £40
  • concessionary rate (for non-residents over 65 years old) - £20.

When you get sent your invoice by Greenwich council you can elect to pay the full amount by cheque or via the online payment system or you can choose to pay annually or quarterly by direct debit
