Petition Action

Stop proposed plans to build on greenbelt land at Top Farm in Nuneaton

Petition Details

There is a proposal to build approximately 1700 new houses and other amenities on the land at Top Farm on the outskirts of Nuneaton. This has met huge controversy with local residents for a number of reasons including the inevitable impact on the infrastructure and environment.

Additional Information

Over the past three years, approximately 6000 new homes have been and continue to be built in Nuneaton, without the relevant infrastructure, schools or health services. Residents in the Higham Lane and Weddington areas are gravely concerned about the impact the proposed Top Farm development will have on congestion and the environment. We question the purpose and location of these houses, while so many brown belt properties in prime locations, remain vacant and derelict.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

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:
