Our threatened Green Belts need your help

The shocking loss of our Green Belts

  • Between 1997 and 2005 a shocking 45,250 new homes were built on Green Belt land
  • Our research suggests that over 2,250 hectares of Greenfield land is at risk from being developed for housing
  • Since May 2006, 48 planning applications involving development in the Green Belts have been permitted as a result of which 450 hectares of supposedly protected green space have been built on

Don't let the credit crunch bite into our Green Belts
Our green open spaces could be under threat from the Governments’ plans for 3 million new homes by 2020. The credit crunch means it is more likely for developers to look for cheaper plots of land to build new housing rather than previously developed ‘brownfield’ land which costs more to prepare for building.

Help us halt the erosion of our countryside
Over the coming months, we will be campaigning hard to protect our Green Belts from further loss. But the task is enormous; we need funds to help with our publicity, lobbying, research and community-based campaigning, which is why we need your help urgently.
