Rejected petition Stop the building on green belt land in and around Warwickshire

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. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

If you'd like the Government to change national planning policy, you could start a new petition about that. You can read the Government's recent White Paper on housing here:

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