This Agreement to Use Land is a consent from the Parish Council of Yetminster & Ryme Intrinseca as owner of the land known as the Hamcrate for the registered tenants of the Hamcrate Allotments and guests or others under their control to enter upon and use the plots identified as Plot 22A and Plot 8A and general internal communal land associated with the Hamcrate Allotments for the purpose of non-permanent and temporary ancillary applications associated with allotment cultivation and allotment use. It does not bestow the right to enter onto any part of the Hamcrate Allotments other than as specified nor the right to enter onto an individual tenant’s plot. Plots 22B and 23 A&B will remain as “Communal Spaces” available for future letting.
As such the users of the aforementioned land namely Plot 22 A and Plot 8A and general internal communal land associated with the Hamcrate Allotments will ensure that the following conditions are met and complied with when they are in occupation: –
Conditions:
1) The Allotment Tenant must at all times during the occupation observe and comply fully with all enactments, statutory instruments, local, parochial, or other byelaws, orders or regulations affecting the Hamcrate Allotment Site.
2) The Allotment Tenant must comply with the Conditions of Use attached as Schedule 1 to the Allotment Tenant’s own signed Allotment Agreement .
3) The Allotment Tenant must not cause, permit, or suffer any nuisance or annoyance to any other plot holder or neighbouring resident of the Allotment Site and must conduct themselves appropriately at all times.
4) The designated Allotment Communal Space comprising Plot 22A and Plot 8A may not be used for any illegal or immoral purposes and the Allotment Tenant must observe all relevant legislation or codes of practice relating to activities they conduct on the Allotment Garden.
5) The Tenant shall not enter onto any other plot at any time without the express permission of the relevant plot holder.
6) Any person who accompanies the Allotment Tenant for the purpose of non-permanent and temporary ancillary applications associated with allotment cultivation and allotment use may not at any time enter onto another plot without the express permission of the relevant plot holder.
7) The Allotment Tenant is responsible for the actions of their children and others under their control entering onto Plot 22A and Plot 8A and general internal communal land associated with the Hamcrate Allotments who are doing so with the tenant’s permission.
8) The maintenance (hedge cutting, grass cutting etc.) of Plot 22A and Plot 8A will form part of the overall allotment maintenance programme and will be costed from the annual allotment rental income.
9) This agreement to enter upon and use land does not grant exclusive possession of Plot 22 A and Plot 8A, does not amount to an interest in land and is personal to the parties. There is no intention between the parties to create a relationship of landlord and tenant which differentiates it from other types of tenancies and the issued Allotment Tenancy Agreements.
10) The Yetminster & Ryme Intrinseca Parish Council may, at its discretion, and upon receipt of written application so to do, grant temporary permission for entry upon and use of Plot 22A and Plot 8A for purposes other than as specified above and may make or stipulate specific requirements appertaining to that entry or use.
11) The Yetminster & Ryme Intrinseca Parish Council may, at its discretion, revoke this agreement at any time and will not be required to give a reason for so doing.
