To help explain the latest Government reforms to the English planning system, a series of new guides and events are helping lead people through the planning labyrinth.
A new independent report published today has demonstrated that National Grid has greatly overestimated the costs of burying electricity cables underground. Campaigners are now calling for current plans to build nearly 300 miles of new overhead cables to be rethought.
On Tuesday next week a long delayed independent report into the real costs of undergrounding electricity cables as an alternative to ugly overhead lines and 50 metre high pylons is expected to be published.
Rural campaigners and astronomers are looking to recruit amateur star-gazers to help them map light pollution during their national Star Count Week starting on Friday 20 January.
CPRE welcomes the Government's commitment to invest in rail rather than seeking to promote new roads or air travel. But there is a long way to go before we can be sure that HS2 will not have an unacceptable impact on the landscape and local communities.
A new survey finds well over four out of five British adults believe that farmers have a responsibility to look after the landscape and wildlife for future generations.These findings mirror the aspirations of a new, ambitious vision for the future of farming published today by CPRE.
