Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Local planning is not usually a matter for the UK Government or Parliament. You might like to raise the issues you are concerned about with your local councillors. You can find out who your local councillors are here:

The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government does have some powers to look at specific planning applications. This briefing paper explains more about that process:

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