What the petition asks

Thousands of homes are built around the UK if this carries on we won't have any green belt woodland or countryside left. All wildlife habitat will be destroyed and wildlife animals will be pushed to extinction.
Tell them to put a stop to the thousands of homes been built everywhere. the cause of these problems are by illegal immigrants entering the UK they are pushing up the population

Why it was rejected

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

It is not clear what you are asking the Government to do. A number of legislative instruments and guidelines already set out the restrictions imposed upon builders and developers relating to wildlife habitats.

Planning decisions are a matter for local authorities, and not the Government or House of Commons.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to change specific measures that already exist in respect of wildlife habitats when new homes are being planned, but would need to be clear what changes you want the Government to make.
