LUC to host Green Belt Summit with No5 Barristers' Chambers

The Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 (LURA 2023) promises to modernise planning policy.

But how will Green Belt protections fit into this new agenda?

LUC, in partnership with No5 Barristers' Chambers, is hosting a Green Belt Summit to answer this crucial question.

Join the discussion on Green Belts

This half-day event on Wednesday 3 July at the Savoy in London will bring together leading voices in planning to discuss the future of Green Belts.

The summit aims to find common ground on three key questions:

  • Is the Green Belt policy still effective today?
  • Are Local Plans the best way to define Green Belt boundaries?
  • Do the current procedures for development within Green Belts work?

Green Belts: balancing growth and environment

Green Belts have played a vital role for 70 years, preventing urban sprawl around major cities.

However, they encompass a wide range of land, from valuable environmental assets to less sensitive areas.

Additionally, Green Belt boundaries are permanent, yet subject to incremental changes at a local level. This lack of clarity can lead to inconsistent decision-making.

The Green Belt Summit offers a chance to have a high-quality and balanced discussion about these challenges. By attending, you can be part of shaping the future of Green Belt policy.

Attend in person or online

The summit offers both in-person and online attendance options.

In-person tickets cost £120 + VAT and include access to the event at the IET London: Savoy Place.

Online tickets are available for £50 + VAT.
