Petition Action

Save AONB Wealden from overdevelopment.

Petition Details

To prevent overdevelopment, specifically in Wealden, an area of natural beauty. Wealden residents have and are facing an extortionate amount of large housing developments. Wealden District Council has failed to provide a 5 year housing plan and now Developers are able to use this to their advantage

Additional Information

In the last 3 years my village has seen a growth in housing developments, which currently has increased the number of homes by
50%. The village has no street lights, a small oversubscribed doctors surgery, limited public transport that does not run in the evenings or weekends and a small oversubscribed primary school. Due to the incompetence of our local authority in now producing a 5 year plan, us residents are now at the mercy of developers who use this loophole to line their pockets.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local planning decisions are a matter for local planning authorities, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

You could raise this 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
