Renting an allotment is an inexpensive, fun and healthy way to Grow Your Own fruit and vegetables whilst gaining a great sense of achievement.

The Council has three Allotment Sites within the boundaries of the Village.

There are over 120 plots altogether which are located at:

• Conbar Avenue
• Penfold Lane
• Worthing Road

Residents of Rustington will be given priority for any vacant plots but applications are welcomed from those living outside of the Parish. 

Existing tenants may apply for additional plots but are unlikely to be offered a plot whilst there is an active waiting list.  Only one plot per household is permitted whilst an active waiting list exists – please contact the Parish Council for an up to date waiting list status.

If you are interested in applying for an allotment please complete our online application form - Application for allotment tenancy or please download a form here.

You can see an example of the Parish Council’s Tenancy Agreement here

For more information, including prices and availability please contact the Council Offices Tel: 01903 786420 or email allotments@rustingtonpc.org

The Waiting List for Rustington Residents is approximately 8-12 months.
