This has been discussed before, but I'm really not sure about an outright ban on artificial grass. We had some in our last place and it constituted about 2 x 3m of a garden that was roughly 5 x 10m, the rest was trees, raised beds, flowerbeds pots and some patio. We'd tried to maintain a lawn and it wasn't sustainable, so our options for that area, in order to make it something we could actually use, was paving or artificial grass. Given that we lived in an area of London that had increasingly regular flooding problems, impermeable slabs didn't seem like a very friendly option and if fake grass looks shit so does having a garden that looks like a car park (like some of our neighbours' did).
I think there's a strong case to be made for garden designers to move away from it and to find other ways of discouraging its use, but pretending that everyone is making a choice between artificial grass and a bee-friendly flower meadow is pretty unrealistic.

Not to get all libertarian, but what an absolutely shocking waste of government time and resource.
You know what, how about we ban cats?
Or what about all those cunts laying massive concrete slabs in their garden so they can build a huge shed to store all their consumer tat?
Or the sort of dickheads that buy old Subarus or VW Transporters? Should they be legislated against?
Honestly people need to get a fucking grip. Or a hobby.

Anyway I came to moan about plastic grass on people’s gardens.
Just go the whole hog and burn a tractor tyre then spray the area with Agent Orange you fucking terrorist cunts.
