What future for the countryside?
CPRE is looking to the future and our 20:26 Vision sets out a thought-provoking picture of the sort of countryside we might see, and some of the challenges it may face, in 2026, CPRE’s centenary year. Our ambition is to provoke a national debate that will lead to a consensus on how we can all protect the green spaces that make England beautiful.- Book

- A Basis on Which to Build?
A report by Europe Economics for the Campaign to Protect Rural England
The Barker Review suggests that there would need to be a doubling of new house building creating an extra 120,000 new homes a year to meet demand and counter house price inflation. This report challenges the basic assumption that there is an undersupply of new homes. Census data from 2001 reveals that there is actually a surplus of housing in all regions across England.

- 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.

Wildlife and Countryside Link's policy perspective on the future of the CAP
This document sets out the radical proposals of the Wildlife and Countryside Link coalition of leading environmental groups (including CPRE) to transform the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The report proposes replacing the CAP with a single European Sustainable Land Management Policy - existing farm support payments would be phased out and replaced with support for positive land management to help underpin profitable farm businesses and prosperous rural communities.

- Special offer Beyond Transport Infrastructure
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.
