About The London Green Belt Council


The Council

The LGBC is an independent, voluntary umbrella organisation for groups and individuals passionate about preserving and protecting London’s Green Belt.

Members meet three times a year, usually in the Houses of Parliament. Our Annual General Meeting elects an executive committee including a chair and officers to deal with CIC administrative business and day-to-day matters that arise relating to the Green Belt.

We are constituted as a Community Interest Company (CIC) funded by member subscriptions and donations.

Our Origin

The Green Belt as we now know it started on 3rd August 1955 with a Circular from the Ministry of Housing and Local Government calling on Planning Authorities to establish Green Belts. The LGBC was founded in that year.
