Hold a referendum on banning housing developments in the green belt

What the petition asks
Let the country decide what happens to its own green belt and historic villages and towns. Call a referendum on banning housing developments on green belt land.
We believe we are losing too much historic character, green spaces and habitats to build houses that are not needed in these areas. We think the fair way to decide is to let the people vote.
