Apply for a concession – York Allotments

New concessionary rates are now applicable. For more information on the new rates and qualifying criteria, click here.

YACIO is committed to seeking ways to make allotmenting accessible to all. One way that we do this is to try and reduce the barrier that the cost of renting allotments can be to residents in receipt of means tested benefits. For this reason we welcome applications for concessions from those that are eligible. We will no longer be offering age based concessions.

You are can apply for a concession using the form below, or you can download the application form to complete and send to us in the post or via email. Please complete this form within 7 days of signing your tenancy agreement. This will ensure that your concession is included on your invoice.

Please note Concessionary Rents are calculated as below in BOLD:

Plot size A Plots up to 75 square yards: £25/£12.50
Plot size B Plots from 76 to 150 square yards: £50/£25
Plot size C Plots from 151 to 300 square yards: £100/£50
Plot size D Plots from 301 to 450 square yards: £135/£67.50
