Take action
Changes to planning will reduce your right to have a say on major new developments.
You can help us ensure the planning system remains an effective tool for protecting the countryside, wildlife habitats and the character of our towns. Your views through emails, letters or meetings with MPs could make a real difference.
We have produced an action pack to help individuals and groups campaign on the Planning Bill.
The action pack includes:
- an action guide;
- a Planning Bill briefing;
- tricky questions and answers on the Planning Bill;
- an example campaigning letter;
- an example press release; and
- a feedback form

Our vision for planning
Read CPRE's Making Planning Better: An agenda for the Planning White Paper to find out about our vision for planning and what we think it should be in the Planning Reform Bill.
Making Planning Better coalition
CPRE is part of a coalition of civic and environmental organisations – with over 5 million members – opposed to the Government’s planning reforms, which threaten to make a mockery of local democracy, stripping away your right to participate in major decisions about your area and threaten valuable landscapes, habitats, historic environments and local character.
The urgency for this campaign is now even greater given the inclusion of a Planning Reform Bill in the Queen's speech.
