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.
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’.
And if details available:
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:

Message received 28th November – via email.
I am willing to take photos. However, where can we find details of land being designated ‘grey belt?
[ Regarding post: Grey Belt Threats – Request for Photos ]
RDRA response:
Very good question. We’ll have to go through all of the green belt sites in the local plan and see which ones are/can be reclassified as grey belt. Also look into the developers proposed sites to see if they have been reclassified. At the moment it seems to be a tall order.
But many thanks for your offer of help. Much appreciated.

The Winter Fair is fast approaching – Friday 24th November, and we are very short of stewards for the evening. We have enough ‘set up’ help, but we need more volunteers to help man the HQ and patrol from 4pm to 9pm, and to help with the striking of the site from 9pm to 10pm. Shifts will probably be for 1-2 hours max. Radios and Hi Vis jackets are provided along with full instructions.
We would be most grateful if you could volunteer – please contact david.montague@btinternet.com.
