Default Opinions on "Indoor Allotment" Idea

Given that there is (reportedly) a shortage of allotments around the UK
generally, and that with the overall demise of garden space urbanwise
what say the group about the idea of division of a very large
ex-commercial greenhouse into "units" for people to use ?

Thus far my idea is divide the existing 200ft x 80ft greenhouse into 10ft
square "plots", dividing if required by walls of tarpaulin or somesuch
with the front of the greenhouse as a shop/sales area for produce etc
(Already exists in reality).

Would there be problems with cross pollination and other issues?

Suggestions and constructive criticism welcome.



bigger plots= less people = less arguments?

and on Marks recommendations, two walkways of four feet width 24 feet apart
down length of the greenhouse leaving 3 x beds 24 feet long across the
greenhouse, divided x 10 feet wide = 60 plots
