Bonfires. You or any member of your household or visitors must not light bonfires in your garden or in any communal area. Any fireworks must be used safely and in line with manufacturer’s instructions. Fire pits, barbeques, chimineas and braziers must be used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
Bonfires. Bonfires are not permitted. Fires must be contained within suitable incinerators and are permitted as long as wind direction takes any smoke away from surrounding houses. Fires must be attended to, at all times and extinguished before the ‘Plot Holder’ leaves the allotment gardens. Any fire must be lit with due consideration to our neighbours in surrounding roads and to other allotment Plot Holders.
Bonfires. 8.1 Bonfires may not be lit under any circumstances during the period 1 May to 31 September inclusive, out of consideration for other tenants and nearby residents.
8.2 Bonfires may be lit during the period 1 October to 31 April inclusive. The Tenant must compost as much garden waste created on the Allotment as possible. Any items which cannot be composted must be thoroughly dried out before burning, thus reducing smoke.
8.3 The Tenant must not allow any bonfire to cause a nuisance or annoyance to the occupiers of any other allotment garden or residents of any adjoining properties.
8.4 The Tenant must not light a bonfire within 10 metres of any perimeter fence or hedge.

Bonfires. Bonfires are a last resort for disposing of waste generated on a plot. Bonfires are permitted for the burning of dry, diseased plants, perennial weeds, stalks and prunings. Use of an incinerator or ‘burning barrel’ will be required for all bonfires. When leaving your plot after a bonfire ensure the fire is completely extinguished. Bonfires must never be left unattended. No bonfires are allowed from 1 April to 30 September inclusive except for contract and site improvements works. Bonfires are not permitted at any time for the burning of manufactured materials such as plastics and rubber (which give off toxic fumes that aggravate asthmatic and pulmonary medical conditions), these should be disposed of at the designated civic amenity site. Tenants should take into consideration local householders and whether people have windows open or washing on the line which is likely to be affected by smoke. Smoke from a bonfire, which could be a nuisance to neighbours by interfering with the use and enjoyment of their garden or property, or could affect the comfort or quality of life of the public, could result in action under the Environment Protection Act of 1990. Tenants who light a fire within 50ft (15.24m) of the centre of a highway may be guilty of an offence under the Highways Act 1980. MAMC reserves the right to prohibit bonfires on a specific plot and/or group of plots.
Bonfires. 14.1. Tenants must comply with the Association’s Bonfire Policy.
14.2. The ARDAA does not accept any responsibility for Tenants who have fires on their plots.
Bonfires. The Tenant may have bonfires to burn diseased plants and materials which are difficult to compost within the confines of their plot subject to the following conditions: o Tenants should first consider alternatives to bonfires including re-cycling, composting and incinerator bins. o Please check thoroughly for small animals who may be hidden underneath the garden waste before lighting the bonfire. o No material must be burnt that may harm the soil eg paint, bitumen (roofing felt), plastics etc. o No materials for burning must be brought to the site only materials produced from the site may be burned. o The bonfire must be managed safely at all times and must be extinguished before the Tenant leaves the site. No bonfire must be allowed to create a nuisance to other Tenants or neighbouring properties. Please think of the timing of your bonfire, having a bonfire on a sunny weekend day is likely to cause more nuisance than at the end of a dull winter‘s day (also consider which direction the wind is blowing). o The Highways Act 1980 makes it an offence to light a fire and allow smoke to drift across a public highway where it could endanger traffic. o Complaints about bonfires are investigated by Leeds City Council’s Environmental Health Services which can result in legal action and termination of your allotment tenancy by Otley Town Council.
Bonfires. 5.1 Bonfires are permitted on the Tenants own allotment garden, from 1ST November through to 30th April with the following to be observed:
5.2 Always observe the simple courtesy of letting your neighbours know when you intend to light the fire.
5.3 Only burn dry material from the allotment plot and in small quantities. Do not burn large piles which do not dry out and cause smoke over neighbouring areas. NEVER burn household rubbish or anything containing plastic, foam or paint. Do not take rubbish to the site to burn.
5.4 Never under any circumstances use an accelerator (e.g. petrol) to get the bonfire started.
5.5 Avoid burning on windy days as the prevailing wind direction may blow smoke or sparks directly into neighbouring properties.
5.6 Never leave the bonfire unattended and always wait until everything has burned down before leaving the site.
5.7 Never use water to douse a bonfire; it may appear as if the fire has been safely put out but the water only serves to superheat the ashes and they could re-ignite some hours later. When leaving the bonfire site always throw soil or sand over it to smother the heat source.
5.8 It is not permitted to have a bonfire from 1st May through to 31st October.
