Protect green belt land and playing fields
A petition opposes plans to reduce Farnham Park's golf course from 18 to 9 holes and build a professional football academy on green belt land. The petition argues this represents a major change to public recreational land without proper consultation.
Fund green spaces for communities impacted by major infrastructure developments
Communities affected by developments like HS2, New Road and commercial developments deserve environmental and social investment. We call for funding to create a high-quality natural park or walking space for wellbeing, young people, and nature recovery — not more car-led retail infrastructure.
Green space habitat threatened with destruction
A natural habitat and ecosystem is at risk of being destroyed. The post expresses concern about environmental protection and loss of green space.
Local green space needs preservation
Community member expresses concern about protecting the natural beauty and character of a local area.
Amend the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations
Remove the need for permission from the local planning authority to work on a tree with a TPO as long as the work is done by a qualified tree surgeon in accordance with BS3998. To avoid doubt, work in the context of this amendment excludes felling, which would still require LPA approval.
