Keep Green Urban Spaces Safe From Sudden 'Brownfield' Labelling
Keep Green Urban Spaces Safe From Sudden 'Brownfield' Labelling
(Note: due to technicalities, this is not the "live" version of this petition any more, so please not sign but go to https://www.change.org/bristolbrownfield )
We the undersigned ask that Council Officers should cease describing any sites in the city as “brownfield,” unless:
A. The entire site clearly complies with the National Planning Policy Framework definition of previously developed land, AND,
B. It is listed on the Council Register of Brownfield Sites.
Justification:
The Environment Agency has placed much of the Harbourside into the highest flood risk zone, with a "significant and unacceptable risk to life" for residents and users. Further, the Bristol City Council recently passed a cross-party motion to protect all green spaces from destructive development.
