Welcome to CPRE South West's web site. We are part of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, a national charity
(reg no 1089685).
Our main regional campaigns
The Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS), which will be finalised by the Government this year (2008),
is the main focus of our regional work. It will include housing allocations for individual districts for the next 20 years. This summer is our last chance to influence the outcome.
Help us to persuade the Government to adopt a more reasonable approach to development to protect the rural character of the South West. Please write to your MP and respond to the formal consultation this summer.

See also our news releases page for our views on the situation more locally.
Planning and Housing - We campaign for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to development: lower levels of new housing overall ( with an increased proportion of affordable homes to meet local need); urban renaissance; and improved use of brown field land.
Energy and climate change - We campaign for regional strategy and policies that include energy conservation measures and guidance for renewables that will protect the South West's landscapes.
Transport and Tranquility - We campaign for a more sustainable approach to transport regionally. Our main focus is the Regional Transport Strategy (the Transport chapter of the RSS). It will inform the next round of Local Transport Plans in the South West.
See "Our Work" for full details of our submissions.
The Campaign to Protect Rural England exists to promote the beauty, tranquillity and diversity of rural England by encouraging the sustainable use of land and other natural resources in town and country.
