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.

New Better Transport Planning for Eco-towns
This joint response by environmental and transport NGOs to the consultation on planning policy for eco-towns criticises the transport standards proposed.  Without revised standards, transport will be the Achilles heal of ambitions for eco-towns, threatening the programme's ambitions to lower carbon emissions and raise design standards.

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.

CPRE's policy on aviation

Aviation is the fastest growing source of climate change emissions. But aviation expansion also damages the countryside and domestic tourism.

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.
