Save our Back Gardens Campaign

Full Text of Petition

To: Ruth Kelly MP (The Department of Communities and Local Government)

We, the undersigned call on the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to change planning policy to stop back gardens being treated as brownfield sites.

We further call on the DCLG and the Mayor of London, to recognise the value of suburban back gardens and to support our local council in its efforts to develop and implement planning policies that acknowledge the ecological, environmental and social value of back gardens and the existing garden corridors we have in the borough.
