Allow people who make a living from the land to live where they work.

Closed 3,725 signatures

What the petition asks

A presumption in planning law that people making a living off the land can live where they work would encourage the creation of rural enterprises and assist with the housing issues for rural workers. It would therefore promote a thriving rural economy and increase food security.
