Launch a review on planning laws & Green Belt to increase housebuilding

Closed 51 signatures

What the petition asks

As the country is failing to solve low homeownership, there must be a review into simplifying and clarifying planning processes, and reassessing and redefining the Green Belt, to increase housebuilding.
We believe that planning laws are outdated and complicated, including those in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act. Hence, the Government needs to work urgently to identify and fix problems to ensure that there will be enough homes for younger generations to purchase in the future.
