Cherry Tree Allotments Expansion
Description: Watford Borough Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified contractors for the expansion of an established allotment site located at Berry Avenue, Watford through the development of an adjacent plot of land. The land to be developed lies to the immediate east of the established Cherry Tree Allotments and extends to approximately 3500 m2. Historically the land formed part of the allotment gardens. Following change of use of the adjacent commercial building to residential use, the commercial unit car park plot was returned to Watford Borough Council and will be reinstated to its former use as allotments. The new allotment space is to be created in a partnership between Watford Borough Council and Cherry Tree Allotment and Garden Association (CTAGA) who managed and operated the present allotment site.

Summary: Watford Borough Council is procuring construction works to expand the established Cherry Tree Allotments at Berry Avenue, Watford. The project will develop an adjacent plot of approximately 3,500 square metres, formerly used as a commercial building car park, and reinstate it as allotment gardens. The new allotment space is being created in partnership with the Cherry Tree Allotment and Garden Association, which manages and operates the existing site and will be responsible for the proposed development. The requirement is therefore suited to contractors able to deliver a small-scale allotment or site-development project, including the conversion of previously developed land for community growing use. The procurement is categorised as construction work and the main work location is Watford.
