Use our interactive Green Belt map to see where the Green Belt is located in England, and some of its key strategic assets and sensitivities.

LUC is a leading expert in Green Belt planning for local authorities, developers and communities, having assessed over a third of all Green Belt land in England over the past 15 years.

This helpful map illustrates the current extent of England’s Green Belt land across the country, and the Green Belt areas where we have first-hand experience.
