Girl in a jacket
Applications to keep pigeons will only be accepted for North Warren Allotment Site
I wish to apply for permission to keep pigeons on the above-mentioned Allotment Garden and agree that it is solely my responsibility to maintain them in good health. On termination of my tenancy, I agree to remove the pigeons and all housing structures, at my own expense, from the Allotment Garden. I understand that if, upon termination of the Allotment Tenancy Agreement, if the Council is required to remove any structures and / or other matter or items from the Allotment Garden, I will be charged for the full cost of removal.
The total number of Allotment Gardens that written permission will be given for on the North Warren Allotment site is five (5). If five (5) Allotment Gardens are already given consent to keep pigeons, this application will automatically be refused.
Please enter a number less than or equal to 60.
I understand that no more than sixty (60) pigeons are permitted at any one time.

The pigeons on your Allotment Garden must be kept in humane conditions. Failure to do so will result in the Council reporting you to the RSPCA and prosecution may occur.
Please provide comprehensive details of the loft you wish to erect to keep pigeons. Note. The loft must be sited eight (8) inches above ground level. You must ensure you have 2sqf / 0.093sqm of loft space per pigeon.
