    Comments: there is a shortage of veteran trees which provide many wildlife benefits including lookout stances for birds, altitude habitat away from ground climate and biome and, prehaps the most important, are the next veteran trees. Veteran trees are treasures - they take a hundred to several hundred years to make and we need the next generation of these parts of the ecosystem to survive. Otherwise it's like catching the largest fish in the sea and wondering why evolution has occurred and there are no very old or big fish any more.

    Comments: Monkey Puzzle trees are wonderful trees and take a long time to grow. It is a very special tree that is well known and should not be felled.

    Comments: Petty bureaucracy is the reason for felling this tree, keep it for educational purposes. I do not want the tree cut down

    Comments: The tree is a superb example of a Chilian Pine and is a special feature and centre piece of the garden. Please reconcider your plan to fell this beautiful tree.

    Name: Cllr Elton Watson on Jun 17, 2012

    Comments: Landscapes, be they natural, semi natural or artificial formal ones, are not museums. Whilst it is laudable to seek to restore a landscape there should be an element of compromise to take into account current desires and values, When so many feel so strongly about this tree being retained, it would seem dogmatic to want to so rigidly comply with the original design. The sensible option is to allow this tree to be retained until such time as it becomes unsafe or dies and then do not replace it if the desire at that time is to comply to the original plan.

    Comments: The first thing to note is that when I typed 'Brockhole's visitor centre' into Google some photographs of the place came up and one of them was the monkey puzzle tree. If that doesn't make it iconic in the world of the internet then nothing will.

    Comments: No way do I believe that reason. And I've heard there's to be a tree top trek and zip line put in the grounds? Hardly what one can call part of the original design and far less welcome than a beloved tree.

    Comments: I look after the conservation collections at Kew Gardens and was appalled to hear that this beautiful tree is due to be felled for no good reason other than it didn't appear in the original plans. A specimen tree that is this age should be celebrated, not destroyed!

    Comments: Obviously the planners have lost sight that the Lake District is a national park for the quiet enjoyment of everyone. It is should not be a cronies and developers playground. Every tree is precious, especially if there is some age behind it

    Comments: old trees are a treasure not a hinderance.As a small garden designer I often find the best way to create a design is to build around what existing shrubs/trees are already there as they give a character to a garden that new planting cannot create.just a thought!

    Comments: I heard about this case when attending a meeting in Cumbria as a Trustee of The Ancient Tree Forum. The reasoning behind the decision to remove this tree seems weak and I ask you to retain the tree and avoid its destruction as well as damaging your reputation.

    Comments: It would be tragic to destroy such a beautiful tree. Even if it was not part of the original planting scheme, Monkey Puzzles are one of the best-loved trees in Britain - they may not be native, but they are one species that everyone knows. Please re-consider and save this glorious example.
