- Back Together Again
- Despite being inseparable, decisions on transport and land use are increasingly being made in isolation of each other. The Government’s Ten-Year Transport Plan promotes mobile-intensive lifestyles, while its Communities Plan is generating more traffic and pressure for road building. This report explains how transport and land use can be re-united to support more environmentally sustainable lifestyles.

Lessons for the future from recent road projects
Some say new roads are the answer to congestion problems, but we believe that road-building generates traffic, encourages development and scars the landscape. Beyond Transport Infrastructure analyses Highways Agency data and finds the benefits of road-building are often, at best, unproven. Its recommendations promote more informed decision-making on road transport schemes.

- New CPRE's policy on roads and bypasses
- Traffic and congestion are on the increase, bringing demand for new roads and bypasses. New roads may bring short-term relief, but the cost to the countryside can be unacceptably high. They rarely solve underlying problems, and new schemes should only be considered as a last resort. CPRE believes there are better solutions to our transport problems. The Government should pursue policies that reduce the need to travel, especially by car, and promote attractive alternative transport solutions.

- New CPRE's policy on transport
- Cars have opened up opportunities for living and working in rural areas and for visiting the countryside. Previously remote places are now within easy reach of urban areas, and the rural population has grown as a result. These increased opportunities come at a cost, however: speeding traffic, noise, pollution and new roads threaten the landscape and character of rural areas. The environmental impact of transport has become a pressing issue, and a new approach to transport policy is necessary.

- Economic Impact Reports for Road Schemes
- Promoters of road schemes are now ‘required’ to produce an Economic Impact Report for schemes that affect travel to, from or within one or more Regeneration Areas or where regeneration benefits are being claimed. CPRE’s campaign briefing details what Economic Impact Reports are and how you can assess their conclusions to ensure that decisions taken on road schemes are properly justified.
