Reduced rent

If you do want to claim a reduced rent for your allotment in 2023, please complete the concession claim form (PDF, 292 Kb) and send before 1 March to:

Allotments
Estate Management
Britannia House
BD1 1HX

This will ensure the claim can be processed before the invoices are sent out.

If you claim a reduced rent concession for your allotment, please read this carefully.

If you claim a reduced rent because of a temporary situation, for example if you are a student, or you are receiving sickness or job seekers allowance, you must re-apply for the reduced rent if you want to claim it again.

Please complete the claim form and return with proof of your claim to the Allotments Office before 1 March for the year you want to claim the reduction. This will ensure the claim can be processed before the invoices are sent out.

While Benefit offices remain closed, you can get proof of your claim from your online account journal via the gov.uk website. This will show the entitlement information and date of claim.  

We can accept a screenshot of an online benefits claim provided that it clearly shows your personal details, the date and the name of the benefit.

We will accept either screenshots of your journal information or a document download. Either can be emailed or a copy posted as evidence with your completed claim form.

Your claim form will not be accepted if it is returned without proof of your benefit.

Your completed claim form must be received into the Allotment Office before 1 March for the year you want to claim the reduction. Any concession form received after 1 March will not be accepted, and you will be required to pay the full charge for your plot. Concession claims for a reduced rent cannot be backdated.

Giving up your plot

If you decide to give up your plot, you must let us know in writing either by email to allotments@bradford.gov.uk or letter to Allotments, Estate Management, Britannia House BD1 1HX before 1 March, otherwise you will still have to pay for the full year.

Please be aware that if you give up your tenancy for any reason, or if you forfeit your tenancy through non-cultivation, you are still required to pay the whole allotment bill.
