Closed petition Restrict lawful development on agricultural land in greenbelt areas
Closed on
Under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, developers can apply for lawful development certificates, rather than go through a full planning application process. We believe this should not be possible for adding car parking, allotments and associated outbuildings on agricultural greenbelt land.
Abbots Leigh is a small village in North Somerset, just outside of Bristol where a business is applying for lawful development certificates to:
- Install 700 commercial allotments
- Install 80 parking spaces
- Install shipping containers
- Use plastic matting, cardboard & municipal compost
This would all be on a beautiful greenbelt meadow with rare species including butterflies, skylarks, green woodpeckers, bats and many more.
We believe proposals like these should be subject to a full planning application.
Help save our Greenbelt Land.
