Quote from: Yorkie on Yesterday at 20:06

It's my view that you are actually bound by the Act.

Section 12 refers to "any land" and "any provision" in "any" tenancy etc.

There are no restrictions therefore on who the Act applies to.

That being said, there is a caveat about the nature of the chicken keeping. It must not cause a statutory nuisance, or be prejudicial (harmful) to (human) health, or breach existing laws.

That�s interesting Yorkie. But if the troublesome individual has signed the allotment tenancy they should comply to the rules. I wouldn�t be in a hurry to point out the allotment act as quoted by Yorkie. What on earth is matter with the tenant as it would appear to just need to politely ask permission,which sounds as if it�s a given will be allowed !

Went this morning to finish tieing in the tomatoes up but when I got there it was nice weather so I decided to clear the daffodils up & found lots of snails & slugs under there and lots of weeds of course, as they�re planted under the raspberries (not my best idea!) pulled out some suckers and quickly reformed them to my friend further up the site & planted a few to fill a few gaps. After a trip back home for lunch I went back & weeded the carrot bed, what a mess, I hate having to net lots of things & just don�t get round to un net things to weed. Anyhow all sorted & now can see I need to fill gaps. Also managed to get the tomatoes tied in when I sheltered from the rain

every cloud and all that
