A one dimensional misunderstanding of a multidimensional issue: a critique of the Barker Review of planning
Our report takes a critical look at the Barker Review of Land Use Planning. The Review's narrow focus on making the planning system easier for business and economic growth puts at risk the value of good planning to deliver sustainable development and a high quality living environment. We make the case for the planning system to be developed and strengthened with better protection for the countryside.- Report

How, when and why to ask that departure applications be called in
Local authorities make decisions on planning applications in line with policies in the approved development plan for their area. Sometimes a large-scale or controversial scheme gets approval which goes against the development plan. The local planning authority has to tell the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister about most departure applications it intends to approve. This guide explains what types of development could be considered a 'departure application', and when and how you can take action to influence a decision.

- New Developing an Intrusion Map of England
Prepared for CPRE by Land Use Consultants
We have developed a method of mapping areas of intrusion in England. These are areas disturbed by the presence of noise and visual intrusion from major infrastructure such as motorways and A roads, urban areas and airports. The resulting maps show the extent of intrusion in the early 1960s, early 1990s and 2007. This technical report explains how we created our intrusion maps. It gives the distance thresholds which define areas of intrusion and lists the national datasets used. It also includes full statistical tables of areas disturbed and as yet undisturbed by noise and visual intrusion for each time period for England, its regions, counties and unitary authorities.- Report
