Rejected petition Residents oppose government's attempt to control housing developments in England
Proposed housing developments must reside at the local level consistent with the principles of devolution and local democracy,
Decisions made far from the communities will not align with local priorities, infrastructure capabilities, or environmental considerations.
More details
We urge the government to respect the principles of devolution and allow local councils to retain control over housing development decisions. By enabling communities to guide their own growth, we can ensure more harmonious and sustainable development that genuinely enriches the lives of local residents.
