Target: Government
Region: United Kingdom

Background (Preamble):
The potential for property developers to build on residential gardens and green corridors is an increasing concern.
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.
In order to protect our residential gardens and green corridors from this erosion, the government should change existing planning policy and reclassify residential gardens as Green Belt land.
