Petition Action

Clearer planning policy on private outdoor space for already converted flats

Petition Details

Planning policy for flat conversions takes into consideration creation of private outdoor space however policy about alterations or additions to already converted flats is lacking and these benefits can't be realised. For example, brent policy around creation of roof terraces is inadequate at best.

Additional Information

Update planning policy around creation of private outdoor space for already converted flats. Policies need to give weight to the quality of life enhancement it brings to the owners in brent as I have applied several times and the refusal baffles myself, my architects and planning consultants.
First floor flats without access to private outdoor space need to have clear guidance on creation of this space and this needs to be seen as a positive addition and as bringing it up to modern standards.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action, and we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Local planning polices and planning decisions are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government is responsible for the National Planning Policy Framework, which sets out the Government's planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. We could accept a petition calling for changes to the National Planning Policy Framework, but it would need to be clear what changes you want to be made.

If you are concerned about the policies and decisions of your local authority you could raise this with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
