We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Extend right of appeal for major planning developments to objectors

For the Government to change the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning law so that in the case of major developments those objecting have a right of appeal.

More details

If a planning proposal is refused, those submitting plans have three options of appeal, Written, Hearing or an Inquiry, whereas those opposing have no right of appeal. Major developments can affect thousands of people who may object for valid reasons but do not currently have a right of appeal. Providing a right of appeal would be fairer to the public and provide a safeguard where a major development should be reconsidered.
