Story
Save Marlow’s Greenbelt (SMG) is limited by guarantee campaign group registered at Companies House no.14697502. The group was formed by a number of local passionate residents from Little Marlow, Marlow and Bourne End.
We believe the building of a film studio in Marlow will be detrimental to the community. It will remove an area that is of astounding beauty and biodiversity and an important area of protection for you and your family against growing environmental risks.
We are privileged to have one of only 14 greenbelt sites in the UK. They protect you and your family from urban sprawl by encouraging urban regeneration and preventing the loss of your green spaces to exercise, play and be together. Take a look at www.savemarlowsgreenbelt.org and see what this area has to offer, this is YOUR greenbelt and a 15 minute walk from Marlow and Bourne End high streets.
We DESPERATELY need FUNDS to fight the planning appeal submitted by the film studio developers. These funds are required for barrister representation and other consultant experts, in order to ensure that our message is put forward in the most robust manner. Your SUPPORT is vital to help us protect our greenbelt.
We are looking to raise £75,000 in a short space of time. If you can afford a donation of £100 (or more) that would be fantastic. If not, please donate any amount that you can, even if it is spread over several months.
If you are in postion where you can make a larger donation and would like some advice on how best to do that please contact David Porter, the SMG treasurer, at treasurer@savemarlowsgreenbelt.org.
Many thanks from all at SMG.

7 months agoOur objection team did a fantastic job at yesterday’s SSC meeting. Many hours of preparation went into their presentations. But the refusal result could not have been achieved without your donations. These are vital and have been used to produce materials to raise awareness, and to pay for external advisers. This is not the end of the fight. Protection of our Greenbelt MUST continue and if the MFS application goes to appeal, substantial funds will be required. Therefore, please continue to donate whatever you can. Many thanks, The Team @ SMG.

1 year agoThank you for your generous donations to date. We are now at a critical point in the campaign. A decision on the MFS planning application is imminent and we need to be ready if that does not go our way. This will require paying for further experts as well as legal advice and representation. The developers are well funded and invested in this process, so even if the application is turned down it is unlikely to be the end of the matter. So, if you can spare some cash, it will be greatly appreciated and wisely spent to protect our Greenbelt.
