This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition calling on Parliament to change planning laws so that specific measures are incorporated into new build garden designs to support wildlife habitats. You would need to explain clearly how you would like the law to change, e.g. to require a minimum number of established trees/bird boxes per square meter of developed land.

An example of a similar petition which we recently accepted, and which you may like to sign, is: "Change planning laws so all New House Builds must have hedgehog holes in fences" - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/119873

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