SAVE HARE HATCH SHEEPLANDS

Sheeplands garden centre and shop is a valuable facility which needs to be retained. It offers a range of plants and goods at reasonable prices. I cannot understand the environmental/green belt arguments being put forward by WBC as it is both adjacent to and opposite to (on two sides) other garden centres/country shops/mower centres. The requirement of the enforcement notice that it sells only plants grown on site appears to be rooted in times past. Do any garden centres grow their own plants these days? Similarly, are there any garden centres that do not sell associated garden products and other year round goods? As I understand it, Sheeplands may not have always helped its own cause but this is not a reason for putting it in jeopardy. We need to keep Sheeplands alive for our plants and other goods!
