What the petition asks

Parliament must require officials who backs building on green belt, farmland,parks&heritage sites to first offer their own land.Public assets must not be sacrificed while decision-makers remain exempt.This would expose double standards,deter unjustified proposals&
uphold democratic accountability.
We urge Parliament to require that any official supporting development on green belt, farmland, parks, or heritage sites must first offer their own private land. This would ensure accountability, expose hypocrisy, and deter unjustified schemes. Planning decisions affecting public assets must not be made by those insulated from the consequences. If they demand sacrifice, they must lead by example. Public trust demands moral and democratic consistency.

Why it was rejected

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

Decisions about offering private land for building on are a matter for individuals and local authorities, not the Government or Parliament.

Additionally, it is unclear which public “officials” you are referring to.
