Grey Belt Threats – Request for Photos. Deadline 16th January.
Message from London Green Belt Council.
An existential threat to the very concept of the Metropolitan Green Belt appears to be emerging as land owners, developers and local authorities alike have this year begun to use the NPPF December 2024 ‘grey belt’ definition to reclassify Green Belt sites for development. Far from the idea presented by government ministers of ‘grey belt’ as small sites, of low-quality and previously developed, many are extensive, agricultural land and/or highly biodiverse.
Can you help?
The London Green Belt Council is seeking photographs (using a mobile is fine) plus brief details of land now redesignated by LAs or argued by developers to be ‘grey belt’.
- LOCATION (town/area postcode if known)
- GREY BELT PROPOSAL REFERENCE (planning application/Local Plan)
And if details available:
- Number of houses, energy infrastructure, solar farms etc, whether mixed development and size of the site you have photographed.
- Any special features of the site, natural features, footpaths.
If you do not know all the details, the Location and Reference will suffice.
We hope to create a record of how the new NPPF affects our valuable countryside and present it to government and the media in February 2026.
Please send details plus photos as a separate attachment (jpg or similar) by email to info@londongreenbeltcouncil.org.uk by Friday 16 January 2026.
Please keep it simple. See examples on page 2 in document below:
