Neighbour wants access to my garden

"you are mistaken about my fence, it is not trellis it is xyz installed into concrete. There is also a mature climbing plant using the fence. 
It is therefore not possible to do as you advised, neighbour will need to relocate his shed to a more sensible position which allows access to his fence from his garden now and in the future"

Blimey, the council are involved? On what basis, I wonder - 'nuisance'?
This would usually be for you to resolve, usually by 'legal' means, initially giving the neighbour notice of the potential damage being done by their falling fence. If they fail to act, then you will most likely succeed in suing them for the cost of resulting damage - to the plants, or trellis, or both. 
But, if the council are being active here, then an explanation to them, as Kx suggests.
Do you have LegalProt on your house insurance? If so, they'll guide you on the 'legal' aspect.

So he wants you to remove your panels and cut down a climber so that he doesn’t have the inconvenience of moving a shed that he chose to put too close to the fence?

I would tell him exactly where to go.

We fell out with the neighbour years ago and haven’t spoken since so I had to contact the council to sort out the fence. Below is what they put in their email about getting it repaired 

Following my visit on Friday, we have established the fence panels and post needs to be replaced, however this cannot be done from the tenant’s garden.

 

It was noted that there is trellis fencing along the fence, on your side of the fence which will need to be removed in the first instance.

I'm not entirely clear from your post @Sylviashutthatdoor - was the email from the neighbour or the council? You said "they" which could be plural (the council) or the neighbour (e.g., you're avoiding referring to their gender because it's not relevant here).

What a lot of fuss over nothing just tell them (as has been pointed out already) to move that small shed and access the fence from their own side.

It isn't a 'fuss'. The OP came on here for advice, as they were uncertain.
Hopefully they now are.
It would have been different if, say, the wee shed was instead a garden room or house extension.

I will, I just wanted some advice beforehand!

As you have something along your boundary, so don't need another fence there, do they need to fix the fence, or can they just remove the offending panels? 

Can that be done by leaning down the side of their shed, and pulling them out, or with your permission, or allow you, to just reach over your "fencing" and lift them out. 

Female friend and I (also female), moved her shed easily, and it's a similar size to your neighbour's. So if needs must, they can shift it.
