A GARDENER who was left fuming after the council banned his greenhouse has said he is not giving up without a fight.<\/p>\n

Simon Cornish, 69, has been told to remove the glass structure from a community allotment in Norwich where he has happily gardened since 2014.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Simon was ordered to scrap the greenhouse from Thorpe St Andrew Town Council's Hillside plot by December due to the fact it has glass windows.<\/p>\n

He says that although it has never been enforced, the council has always had a ban on traditional glass greenhouses due to the fact they shatter easily.<\/p>\n

Simon even replaced the tired old hothouse he inherited when he started at the plot in order to make it safer.<\/p>\n

And he says that his greenhouse has "modern tempered safety glass" which he claims is almost indestructible.<\/p>\n

But the passionate gardener has vowed to battle on til the end having written a letter of protest to the council and even reported them to the National Allotment Society.<\/p>\n

Simon told Eastern Daily Press: "Most organisations that run allotments ban glass ones but they usually allow these as they are modern and safe.<\/p>\n

"It's horticultural glass which is the problem and because people usually use stuff they've been given there are some terrible greenhouses up at Hillside so I can understand why they've done it.<\/p>\n

"There's no discussion they just ban it all. I'm so annoyed because I thought I'd done the right thing in replacing mine."<\/p>\n

He continued: "I had a spare one with the same glass as mine so I tried to break it but I just couldn't do it, the only thing which would break it is dropping it from a great height.<\/p>\n

"Ordinary ones break in hot weather, but my greenhouse is not cheap it's real quality.<\/p>\n

"They won't even come down and check to see for themselves."<\/p>\n

In response, the council apologised for the inconvenience caused but said few people had been impacted and most that had been had "complied with no issue".<\/p>\n

A council spokesman said: "The blanket ban of glass greenhouses was necessary across the two town council allotment sites as\u00a0we have seen damage occur which poses a safety risk to tenants, their families, our officers and the ground itself due to contamination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"We unfortunately cannot guarantee that appropriate\u00a0structures will be purchased for the plots, which is then impossible for us to police.<\/p>\n

"We have also had repeat instances of plots being left in a poor\u00a0state of repair\u00a0and therefore cannot trust that any breakages would be appropriately cleared and responsibly recycled."<\/p>\n

It comes after a fuming homeowner claimed that his local council have ordered him to tear down his new wall after giving him permission to build it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a family were left outraged after being ordered to demolish their extension.<\/p>\n
