This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

These decisions appear to be by your local planning authority, Cornwall Council, and not the UK Government. More details about planning and how to comment on proposed developments is available on the council website:

http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/planning/online-planning-register/

You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are and how to contact them:

Once an application is made for the development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:

http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN00930/SN00930.pdf

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 to be taken across England.

If you have already made a complaint to the council, and you are not happy with how it has been handled, the Local Government Ombudsman may be able to give you some advice:
