Give homeowners rights to compensation if nearby development affects house value

What the petition asks
Homeowners currently have no recourse if nearby building work or development devalues their property. There should be a process in place where the homeowner can claim the difference between before and after development valuations back from developers.
Giving homeowners rights to compensation would make council planners and developers consider the effect on existing homes and ensure the homeowner is compensated when their home is devalued.
