Stop the building on green belt land in and around Warwickshire

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Apparently the Government has given carte blanche to use green belt land for building purposes, they've opened the doors to build anywhere. Why are we spending thousands on flood defences while taking away the land's natural drainage??

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

If you'd like the Government to change national planning policy, you could start a new petition about that. You can read the Government's recent White Paper on housing here:
