Plot inspections take place at the end of April/beginning of May. They are run on a similar basis each year, with the main focus on weed control and cultivation.

Unless the plot holder is new, they may receive notice of need for improvement if their plot falls below standard in either of these areas. If the problems are severe and/or have persisted over a number of years, the plot holder may receive an ultimatum to improve or surrender their plot.

The inspection will also check the existence/visibility of plot labels and whether the paths have been recently mowed. Plot holders may also receive notice of action required on these.

Additional health and safety information will be collected. Any issue will be discussed with plot holders if it might affect site insurance.
