Open Spaces Project

We ensure open spaces are not unlawfully and irreversibly sold by local authorities. We aim to protect threatened public open spaces around London, including parks, nature reserves, sports and community facilities, such as playing pitches. We act on behalf of individuals and community groups to bring greater accountability and transparency to local authority decision-making around the disposal of public open spaces.

Our legal expertise includes:

Establishing legal history of the land

Consultation around redevelopment of land

Sale of public land and green spaces

Challenging planning decisions

Empty

We also support communities with:

  • Assistance with understanding legal process and terminology
  • Media assistance
  • Crowdfunding
