I hope both parties can get together and resolve this dispute. The business has grown, provides a good service to the local community. Please let Hare Hatch Sheeplands continue to trade on equal terms with their neighbours.

Whilst the Thames Valley has almost full employment the thought of Sheeplands colleagues, who have served our family so well over the years, losing their jobs is very worrying and tough. Surely retrospective approval could be considered.

If Hare Hatch were to shut down, it would be a Twyford landmark going. Nowadays when life seems to go at a rate of knots, to have a friendly garden centre where children are welcome, where you do not hesitate to ask questions because you know the staff will bend over backwards to help you, where you take your time away from the bustle, is a huge plus for the village. Wokingham Council does not seem to be interested in people and even less in what they think. Maybe it is time to get rid of this council as it does not seem to be intent in listening to anything the people they represent, ou should represent, want.

Because I believe in independent business, employing local people, and being part of a local community. Sheep lands has successfully fulfilled these ideals and should not be pushed out by bureaucracy, to leave the market open to a.large national company which does not have the local ethos in mind.

Hare hatch has a lot to offer, they have their own butchers with in the shop. My husband and myself go regular to hare hatch and we live in Bracknell to buy products from the shop,we also buy items from the garden section. It's also brilliant for the children with the animals and play area. Please keep Hare Hatch.

I think it is a grave misjustice and we should stand up to bully boy tactics.

Hare Hatch is a very family friendly garden centre. We need to save independent businesses

Tis is an important establishment , I have used and prefered this garden centre for many years because it is more competative and less regimented than other local chain garden centres.

Want this excellent garden centre to remain available to me and the thousands of other loyal customers, as a rare independent trader it is a valuable asset to the cummunity.

Because I've never been to a garden centre with so much help and advice and even the younger staff if they don't know they will find out it's very reasonable and love the verity of flowers food and restaurant and a happy place to enjoy an afternoon

I use the Hare Hatch businesses on a regular basis, and did so before they were forced across the road from their previous site. I do not go to the business across the road. they are not a true garden centre - the last time I went plants are dried out and uncared for. The pet food place at hare hatch provides all I need to feed my garden birds - in large enough quantities that I can make a saving by buying in bulk, the garden centre provides good quality plants and seedlings. The coffee shop is great for brunch at the weekend, and the farm shop provides a range of goodies. I miss the cows.

I think that Sheeplands is an excellent community facility and offers a different, more friendly experience to, for example, the Wyevale group. It would be ludicrous to allow this business and all its jobs to fold because of planning obduracy.

Because I think it is outrageously unfair to pick on a business absolutely surrounded by others left alone by the Council. Does someone on the Council have shares in the other businesses?

It is tragic that a wonderful enterprising and community minded business is not supported by the WDC , who obviously prefer the Multiples such as Wyvale to represent their image. It is absolutely necessary that the multiples, get some competition from local business.

The best and most consistent nursery in the area with wonderful access and parking.

I have been visiting Sheeplands for a number of years, and it would be a great shame if the centre closes. You always have a wide selection of plants and there is always someone to help if we have any queries. I also like the farm shop, the butchery section is great.
