SAVE OUR CEG GREENBELT – DONATE TODAY
Raising funds for legal costs to save the greenbelt in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield & Grenoside
This campaign represents the people of Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and Grenoside (S35, north Sheffield). You don’t have to live here to support us – if you care about protecting Sheffield’s greenbelt, this is your fight too.
We are raising funds to cover the substantial legal and technical advisory costs needed to challenge Sheffield City Council’s plans to build homes, schools, cemeteries and industrial units on greenbelt land in our community. This includes the possibility of pursuing a judicial review, which requires independent legal, planning, and technical expertise – all of which come at significant cost.
Why our CEG greenbelt matters
The greenbelt in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and Grenoside is a vital buffer that:
Our fields, hedgerows and woodlands are home to deer, rabbits, badgers, foxes and barn owls. They are also the places where we walk our dogs, find peace, and take pride in living in Sheffield’s “Outdoor City.”
If development is allowed here, it will set a precedent that puts greenbelt across Sheffield – and beyond – at risk.
What’s at stake for CEG
If these plans go ahead in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and Grenoside, we will see:
Once our greenbelt is gone, it’s gone forever.
Why we urgently need your support
Legal proceedings such as judicial review are costly, but they are also one of the most powerful ways to hold Sheffield City Council to account. To do this, we must raise a considerable amount of money.
The vast majority of funds raised will go towards:
A smaller portion will also cover campaign essentials such as leaflets, printing, and community outreach – so that every resident understands what is at stake.
Every donation is important – whether £2, £10, £50 or £500 – but we also ask those who are able to consider giving more, as larger donations will make a critical difference to whether we can pursue the full legal route.
👉 If there are any remaining funds at the end of this process, they will be donated to charity – ensuring that every penny raised goes towards protecting and supporting our community.
Be part of this fight
Together we can protect Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and Grenoside from destructive overdevelopment – and stop Sheffield City Council setting a precedent that could threaten greenbelt everywhere.
👉 Donate today and help us save our greenbelt for this generation and the future.
