UK: ‘I was forced to rip down my rooftop garden over grumpy complaints – I’m outraged’
Rob Wood set out to transform a hotspot for anti-social behaviour in his community and says ‘everybody loves it’ – apart from the council, who has ordered for its removal

Excerpt:
Once a hotspot for anti-social behaviour, a renovated roof garden is now a sanctuary for wildlife – however it might not be for much longer.
Rob Wood, 53, was sick and tired of seeing youths drinking cider on top of the roof of his Broadsands Beach Watersports Centre in Paignton, Devon, so decided to do something about it. He set to work planting an array of plants in unique pots and planters that he’d made himself.
The roof was also given a lick of colourful paint, and has now attracted tourists. However Rob has now been ordered to take his hard work down by the local council over health and safety fears.
Torbay Council said any modifications to leased buildings “must comply with planning, structural safety, and health and safety regulations”. It says the roof garden was made without prior permission and could pose potential risks.
Rob, whose background is in civil engineering, said previously the space was ‘really ugly, with a horrible wall’, and admitted ‘all it did was attract anti-social behaviour’. He started building the garden back in March, and since then, he says there has been a drop in anti-social behaviour.
