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 understand that you are concerned about certain uses of compulsory purchase orders, but not sure if you want these to be abolished entirely, or changes made to when these can be used, and if so what changes.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
