Allotments
Chichester City Council owns and manages a total of 14.5 acres of allotment land spread over seven sites within the City
All of these sites are secured by locked gates and have a water supply available between March and October. There are currently over 450 occupied plots with most plots being 5 rods in size or smaller (approximately 125 square metres or less).
We have plots to suit beginners as well as more experienced gardeners and rent for 2024/2025 is £11.00 per rod per annum.
NOTE: Only residents of the Chichester parish (the PO19 postal code area) may apply for an allotment.
These sites are:
- Florence Road
- Blackberry Lane
- Kingsham Avenue
- Roman Amphitheatre
- St James
- St Pauls, Little Breach
- Whyke Road
The popularity of allotment sites means that in most cases a waiting list is maintained.
If you would like to be included on the allotment waiting list, please complete the Application to join the allotment waiting list.
