Petition Prevent building on brown land when it poses a risk to health & the environment

I live near land whose history means it is contaminated. The owners of the land are constantly submitting plans which we have to fight.They have been turned down many times on health and environmental grounds. There should be a maximum number of permitted applications.

More details

The land nearby is contaminated by arsenic, lead, cadmium, asbestos and Mercury-as well as methane gas. The company would release all of this by excavating yet they constantly apply for permission to build-tweaking each plan each time. Thus far we have been successful in our fights but it has been happening for at least thirty years.The dangers remain the same, there should be a limit on the applications made. I am sure this must be happening elsewhere in the country.
