which has been left to us after the ravages of road and building developments."

UK Green Belt
The UK Green Belt was formed by law in 1949 to prevent speculative ribbon development around London and other large cities in the United Kingdom. The first records of EBGBS date from 1959 when the battles against building on Woodcock Hill on the south side of Borehamwood started. We have been contesting Green Belt and conservation issues ever since.

Current Issues can be found on our Latest News page
