valentino 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 ok, my mate has a allotment on farmland (not council owned) and apparantley the farm is going to move them... the lads have a 99 year lease to be there, however the farmer wants to move them to the field next door now this is ok if you only have afew vegetables etc to grow..but there are lads there with stables,....concrete floors, breeze block buildings,...some lads build sheds in there steel buildings etc,...and for some it would be impossible to move there buildings so my question is....does someone have to come out and give these lads compensation for there gardens? valentino Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Superficially at least, it sounds like a clear and blatant Breach of Contract, doesn't it? But there's ye key word, mate: " Contract ". The answer may well be written there, in plain enough english that ye'd be able to suss it out for yeself. Then, if ye reckon ye have a case? Time for a word with Farmer Giles there, isn't it? There after it could start getting expensive for one or the other and, most probably, unpleasent for all concerned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 That would be absolutley devestating to the people concerned, it can take years to get an allotment and the plants fully mature MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bowers1986 3 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 :drag: Have a read of the contract and seek legal advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
valentino 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 cheers for the replies That would be absolutley devestating to the people concerned, it can take years to get an allotment and the plants fully mature MOLL. yes molly,..very true and it would be a shame...however with no respect to the lads and lasses growing things, the lads with the stables and buildings etc will have the most to lose in my eyes,...they have some very impressive set ups and some of it cant be moved....yes they could always start building again, but what about the time, money etc thats been spent on there present plots whether it will happen who knows,.....hopefully not valentino Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nobby 65 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Hi valentino whats the reason behind the move why does the farmer want them to move to the other field is there a ulterior motive .I have known allotments that have been taken over and the new owner put the rents up so high he forced people off the land then sold it for housing hope this not the case for the people concerned it might pay them to get legal advice.

stubby 175 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 not wanting to look on the negative side, but i always thought allotment meant, somewhere to grow things, not build sheds/stables etc, if they have a form of contract, better check that out, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If so then that could be a problem as has been said get advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
