Created page with "For the purposes of the Home Quality Mark (HQM), growing space can be considered to be any one or more of the following: * Food planters. * Private gardens. * Allotments. * Comm..."

New page

For the purposes of the Home Quality Mark (HQM), growing space can be considered to be any one or more of the following:

* Food planters.
* Private gardens.
* Allotments.
* Community gardens or community orchards.
* Roof top growing space.
* Raised beds dedicated for growing food (this is a particularly useful approach where the soil conditions are poor as they can be artificially filled with good quality soil).
* Greenhouse or polytunnel.

This space could be provided in private gardens, balconies or roof terraces.

Where growing space is not provided in a garden bed, facilities to enable food growing (i.e. planters or equivalent) must be in place at handover and must be fixed in place (i.e. a free-standing planter would not be accepted).

Where communal growing space is provided it must be:

# Located within 500m of the entrance from all homes on site.
# Have clear ownership arrangements.
# A clearly-designated growing space, for example use of planting or fencing around the perimeter, or in the case of communal areas contain signage.
# Ideally be south facing and not in an area that is heavily shaded.
# Contain suitable soil conditions and depths.
# Sheltered from the wind on the perimeter, for example trees, hedges or other boundary protection.
# Designed to be accessible to all users, for example through the provision of raised beds.
# Located near to a rain water collection system, such as a rainwater butt.
