What the petition asks

Council planning departments need more planning officers, to work at the Councils offices to determine planning applications on time.
Planning Officers are leaving housing departments for private companies leaving devastation and outstanding applications for not months over target but years.

Appoint a committee to study what is wrong with the planning system and employ new planning officers as well as outsourcing work to enable the determination of planning applications.Incentivise officers to deliver on timeframes. Realise what a mess the system in and to encourage officers back to work in Council officers with effective team leaders. Give these departments more help urgently.

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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what you'd like a review to cover, as the petition already states the desired outcome of more planners.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as funding more planning roles in local authorities.
