What the petition asks
Certain animals have protections when development is considered. Humans are not catered for in the same way! Many individuals with respiratory diseases &/or impaired immune systems are affected by air quality & construction. This needs to change so developers cater for these people upon application.
Since my wife's double lung transplant in 2014 we've fought against plans to surround our house with construction. She's suffered loss of lung function & contracted Aspergillosis as a consequence of a nearby site of 85 dwellings that created huge amounts of dust. Control measures are not sufficient to protect an immuno suppressed person. The consequences of bacterial/fungal infection for such individuals are FAR MORE SERIOUS.This cannot be right? Please sign and ask for change in legislation.
