Stop the buliding of new houses on green spaces in Bratton area!

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the 1500+ house development on Bratton Farm (B5063). Prioritize brownfield sites over green spaces, protect Bratton’s rural character, and prevent overcrowded roads, schools, and services. Choose sustainable growth, not urban sprawl. Preserve our community and environment.

It will worsen traffic, overcrowd schools, and strain local services. Our precious green spaces will be lost, harming wildlife and removing vital recreational areas. Bratton’s rural character will vanish, replaced by urban sprawl. Nearby areas like Shawbirch and Allcott are already struggling with overdevelopment. Instead, the government should use brownfield sites, ensuring sustainable growth without destroying farmland and green spaces.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
