The land & income

An established allotment use, with licence income.

Wharfside Park Allotment Gardens provide an active recreational use, with occupied plots and continuing local interest. Plot holders occupy under non-exclusive garden licences that can be terminated, giving the owner flexibility to manage occupation, reorganise the site or revisit the use of the land over time.

The site currently generates an average of approximately £9,000 per annum. There is potential to take income to around £14,000 through more active management of occupation and plot pricing, while retaining the low-intensity character of the recreational use.

The only applicable designation is Green Belt. There are no overlapping SSSI or other conservation designations, which simplifies ordinary site management, although current official mapping should still be checked before any material works.
