The London Green Belt Council (LGBC) brings together members of the public and over 100 organisations. including councils and environmental groups who share a concern for protecting the Metropolitan Green Belt.
We work with politicians, experts and decision-makers, including the All-Party Parliamentary Group for London’s Green Belt, to publicise its value and threats to it, and to analyse and seek solutions to pressures to develop it. Find out more about us.
The countryside of London and the South East is under greater threat than at any time since the Green Belt was established. If you live in it, or value it for your leisure, health and wellbeing, we can help you defend it. Read our blog about the threats and success stories and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
We have compelling evidence that developing Green Belt land will be hugely detrimental to London, the South East of England and the nation as a whole. Reports, maps and publications on its history, benefits, current planning law and other relevant topics can be found here
