Rejected petition Community Action Groups should effectively be consulted in Planning Developments

As a Community Action Group (What Watton Wants) feels totally powerless and as any local community we all have to live with the consequences of Developers/Land Speculators applications. As this affects the whole of the Country we really need everyone's support to make a difference.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Planning consultations are the responsibility of your local council.

You coudl start a petition calling on Parliament to change the law, so that local councils and/or developers are legally required to consult community action groups as part of the planning process.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
