Background

OUR GREEN BELT IS UNDER ATTACK,

AT SERIOUS RISK AND NEEDS YOUR HELP

Dear Hertsmere Green Belt supporter,

In 2021, we came together to voice and represent a record 18,000 objections against Hertsmere’s initial draft Local Plan which proposed building over 2,500 acres (almost 15%) of our entire Green Belt. Since then we have voiced, recorded and influenced opinions on numerous planning applications on the Green Belt.

Now we face a bigger threat, with plans to add up to 21,000 homes across Hertsmere. Your support and objections last time helped our Councillors listen to the very real concerns.

We must continue to work together to object to these applications and ensure our elected Councillors listen to us the residents of Hertsmere. We need your continued support.

If you are a local action group working to protect the Green Belt in your area of Hertsmere, or wish to join our campaign, please contact us at: info@save-hertsmere.co.uk to join up and work with us, as together we are stronger.

Why this matters...

Greenbelt loss: The greenbelt was created to prevent urban sprawl by keeping green buffers between settlements. It is the lungs of London and prevents urban sprawl.

Threat to the natural environment: The destruction of our green areas means a loss of natural habitats and is a threat to wildlife.

Loss of Farmland: Means a loss of local produce

Climate Crisis: How will we ever meet our carbon reduction commitments if we concrete over our green fields?

Pollution: Created by traffic from the many thousands of new homes, with no sign of better roads either.

Infrastructure: Pressure on roads, schools, trains & medical services, with no agreed plan to provide these.

Out of date: Housing demand has actually fallen according to government data and housing targets are being changed.

Please remind your Councillors of their promises to protect ur Green Belt

If you are objecting you may have your own objections to add too. You can add these when you submit a ‘1 Click’ objection”
