ALLOTMENT APPLICATION FORM
Henleys Allotment, London Road, Thatcham
To apply for an allotment tenancy you must be a permanent resident within the Parish of
Thatcham and aged 18 years or over (Proof of residency will be required for all new tenancies).
Waiting list position and waiting times
Unfortunately we are unable to advise applicants of how long they can expect to remain on a
waiting list before they are offered a plot. Allotments usually become available as a result of a
tenant relinquishing a plot or if a tenancy has been terminated. As a result it is not possible to
accurately predict how many plots may become vacant during any given period. We ask you to
be patient whilst waiting for a plot to become available, once you reach the top of the waiting list
and a plot becomes available you will be contacted by a representative of Thatcham Town
Council.
Please make sure that you notify us of any change of address or other contact details so that
we can contact you.
Information for applicants after joining a waiting list
It is the responsibility of the applicant to keep Thatcham Town Council informed with up
to date contact details.
Applicants who cannot be contacted due to incorrect contact details will be removed
from the waiting list.
Three attempts will be made to contact an applicant, if an applicant does not respond to
invitations to view plots they will be removed from the waiting list.
If the plot is refused, siting an acceptable mitigating circumstance, the prospective
tenant will remain on the waiting list until such time as the mitigating circumstances
expire, at which time the prospective tenant will be offered the next plot available.
If the plot is refused, siting an unacceptable mitigating circumstance, the prospective
tenant will be moved to the bottom on the waiting list.
If a prospective tenant refuses two plot offers, for unacceptable mitigating
circumstances, they will be removed from the waiting list.
If you are sent a tenancy agreement for an allotment plot and you do not return a signed
copy of this within two weeks of receipt, you will be deemed to have refused the offer of
the plot and your name will be removed from the waiting list.
Joint applications will be considered on an application basis.
