Rejected petition Change the planning law in Wales, to prevent delayed compliance

There have been multiple traveller sites arriving in Flintshire. All without planning permission. They have put in for retrospective planning permission but have been refused.

They are using the complexities of the current law to appeal the decision and stall any enforcement action.

I believe that to solve this problem we need to remove the right to appeal on planning cases seeking retrospective permission, and ensure that land is returned to its original condition within 6 months, once permission has been refused.

Why was this petition rejected?
