Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To help the adoption of electric cars, all new commercial planning applications should include charging for electric cars.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling for Government guidance that all new homes with parking be installed with an electric car-charging point, if that's what you want to happen.
