Pepper problem

I'm growing bell peppers for the first time in my greenhouse. As each fruit develops a tiny brown spot appears on the skin which gradually gets larger. The fruits aren't touching anything and I'm watering regularly. The rest of the pepper is edible but I guess eventually the whole thing would rot. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

It looks like a fungal problem. How do the leaves look?
I don't thin it's fungal - nothing else in the greenhouse is affected and the leaves are fine. I was wondering about blossom end rot. I have had it on tomatoes in the past, although thankfully not this year. That's caused by inconsistent watering and poor ventilation isn't it?
Hi Calendula.
As Buddyboy suggests your problem is overwatering, I try to not water on a regular basis, only when the leaf shows signs of flagging and then just enough water to wet the pot content. Works for me.
