Stop Excessive Building Development in Angmering, West Sussex

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I request stricter regulations on development projects, emphasising residents' interests, wildlife, and environment. This includes holistic urban planning, public engagement, sustainable building practices, improved infrastructure assessments, fostering a responsible and community-driven approach.
Uncontrolled development harms communities, wildlife, and the environment. Stricter regulations and holistic planning ensure sustainable growth while preserving local character. Enhanced public engagement and sustainable practices empower communities and foster a responsible approach, benefiting residents, nature, and long-term wellbeing.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Local planning decisions are a matter for local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

We can accept petitions calling for changes to planning regulations that apply to all local authorities, but it would need to be clear what changes you want to be made to existing planning regulations.
