Stop the building of large housing estates nationwide on green belt land.

Closed 2,328 signatures

What the petition asks

The government has pushed local councils to open restrictions on developing green belt land for large estates to be built.
This ignores brown field sites and housing that can be redeveloped.
I support the brown field development.
The original name given to the project in Sefton Council was The Core Strategy.
All the residents that knew about it raised objections that have not been addressed.
The plans have now been given the go ahead after a huge amount of money has been used for our supposedly cash strapped council to implement.
There reasons for the housing do not stand up to scrutiny.
There is no infrastructure in place to accommodate the large estates.
The dessicration of green belt land is therefore not required.
