Hi,
Just the background first...
I just got an over-run plot and have gradually been clearing it off an digging etc. A kind friend of a friend offered to take down, deliver and erect a greenhouse for us on our plot. Everything fell a bit behind and we managed to get everything but the glass in on the evening and the gent offered to come back the next day and finish it off. A week later and no movement, I thought he'd been busy, no worries, but my friend informed me last night that the guy had gone the next day only to have a woman run over to him and tell him that greenhouses are only allowed at the top of the plot and we'd have to move it, so it's stood for a week as he needs a hand to lift and carry it back to the top.
Now, I've checked my contract and there is nothing in it to say where I HAVE to have my greenhouse, or any form of shed etc. so I'm presuming it's the allotment association that have brought this 'rule' in. I really don't want to get on the wrong side of them, or anyone, but I can't see why I have to have it at the top, which is much more uneven ground and right prime for vandalism.
So the question is do I have to do what the association say? If there is a valid reason then I have no problem moving it, but if it's just because all the others are, I don't think I should. There are loads of decrepit, bramble-filled dangerous greenhouses that they should concentrate their efforts on. Is it just a power thing?
Sorry this has been a bit of a rant, but it just seems stupid to pick this out when the plots either side of me are overgrown and other plots have dangerous looking buildings on them.
Cheers,
Arls
