The recent trend for property developers to focus on back gardens and green corridors for development is a real concern to all of us.
Developers realise the profitability of building on ‘back gardens’ rather than, say, a disused chemical works as the infrastructure of roads and services are already in place and by building small plots it avoids much of the criteria to include affordable homes.
At the current rate of development, it is estimated that green space the equivalent of 2,755 Wembley pitches will be wiped out by 2016.
In order to protect our back gardens and green corridors from this erosion, the government should change existing planning policy and reclassify our back
gardens as Green Belt land.
We, the undersigned, petition the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to amend planning regulations in order to reclassify back gardens and green corridors as Green Belt land.
