We urge the Government to stop the permitted development right to extend upwards. We think this policy benefits developers & freeholders, harming leaseholders & residents, causing financial, structural, & emotional strain. Meant to ease housing shortages, we think it is now a profit-driven scheme.

We think these developments could: - Undermine building safety, creating both risks during building works and long-term risks. - Devalue flats, leaving leaseholders financially trapped. - Raise service charges. - Disrupt daily life, causing noise, dust, and restricted access, ruining residents’ well-being. - Prioritise profits over communities, neglecting local needs. This petition urges the Government to protect leaseholders, property rights, and communities from exploitation and disruption.
