Protect productive agricultural land and green belt from development in law

Petition Details

Bring in legal protection for productive agricultural and green belt land from development.

Additional Information

We need our prime agricultural land to grow sustainable high quality food which will cut our carbon foot print. The soil where the crops are growing locks in carbon so is a big part of the fight against the Climate Emergency. The fields also provide habitats and hunting grounds for wildlife.
Green spaces provide a home for biodiversity to thrive also part of the solution to the Climate Crisis. They are also vital for people's health and well being.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand you're concerned about development of greenbelt land, however it's not clear what legal protections you want to be introduced to protect such land.

If there is a specific legal protection you would like to be brought in, you could start a petition about that.
