- Goodwill payments: Do they benefit communities or bring planning into disrepute
- This briefing sets out the findings of CPRE’s investigation of a growing number of cases where developers of new wind farms are offering various forms of payments and benefits directly to local communities, as a means of overcoming opposition to development. CPRE believes that the practice is undermining public faith in planning, and that local communities could get a much better deal if developers are required to work through the planning process. We are calling for the Government to take a range of measures to stamp out the use of goodwill payments altogether.

- How to Respond to Planning Applications
An eight-step guide
Most significant developments in the United Kingdom require planning permission from a local planning authority. This process usually involves the submission of a planning application. As a member of the public, you are entitled to examine and comment on planning applications as they are made. This is your chance to press for planning decisions that work for the good of the environment and your local community. This guide tells you how to find out more about a planning application and — if necessary — how you can take action.- Guide

- Local Development Frameworks
How you can use them to protect the countryside, promote urban regeneration and improve
As part of the new planning system in England, local authorities will have to prepare a ‘Local Development Framework’ by 2007. This will replace Local Plans, Structure Plans, and Unitary Development Plans. They will comprise a collection of documents, policies, and proposals which set out a local planning strategy. They require public participation when they are being prepared and developed. This guide explains opportunities you have to influence policies and plans, which in turn influence most types of development including housing and the fate of the local environment and countryside.
