This could be a double definition.

'allotments' is the first definition.

Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for plots that I've seen before include "Conspires" , "Stories in novels or plays" , "Plans" , "Schemes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
