This Govt needs challenging...

The issue ought to be to push what's already approved on brownfield sites and support conversions of empty office blocks etc, not destroying our countryside.

There shouldn't be any more planning applications approved until those already agreed are built. There's absolutely no reason for new applications to be submitted and this distruction of our greenspaces really must stop.

This affects the whole of the country. It could affect a space near you next!

More houses = more traffic, more strain on local amenities and less countryside.

There are already 1.4 million homes approved so why are they asking councils to provide more sites?! 

And over 1 million empty properties, why? Who is benefitting from this?

It's about time councils and residents stood up to developers, and Govt, and demanded those on brownfield sites are built before even considering other sites let alone greenbelt.

The displacement of wildlife from the greenspaces is a horrible consequence of building on greenbelt. Ask yourself how many foxes do you see wandering the streets, how many badgers and other wildlife are coming further into towns and cities because their habitats are being destroyed. Butterflies and our ever decreasing Bee population need us to keep them alive  This distruction is all so unnecessary. Please add your voice...

We the undersigned demand the Govt STOP DEVELOPERS LAND GRAB AND GET THEM TO BUILD ON LAND ALREADY APPROVED BEFORE ANY MORE SITES ARE PUT FORWARD.

Pass a law to make it compulsory for developers to complete those sites/conversions or face hefty fines upto £5 million.

No more sites should be approved until 90% of the current 1.4 million approvals have been built. 90% in every area, not pick and choose.

EDIT: today, 3rd August 2026, Taylor Wimpy have announced they have cut back on future builds because existing builds are not selling. So why..

Why are we losing our greenbelt for more empty properties!
