Rejected petition Stop any further new home development in Essex now.

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:

https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

You can also petition your local council - you can find out more here:

https://www.essex.gov.uk/Your-Council/Consultation-Feedback/Pages/Petitions.aspx

If you want the UK Government or Parliament to take action, for example to amend the legislation and policy framework which governs planning and development decisions taken by local authorities, you could start a new petition specifically asking for that action.

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