- New Green Belts: A greener future
A report by Natural England and the Campaign to Protect Rural England
This landmark report brings together, for the first time, information on the state of Green Belt land and compares this to other areas of England. We provide evidence that the 1.6 million hectares of Green Belt provide a rich and varied natural environment and many related benefits to society. The ecosystem services provided by Green Belt land are highly significant and have an economic value that is often underestimated or simply not understood. We conclude that these areas could take on an even greater significance in the face of climate change, England’s growing population and the need for a low carbon economy. They can also help in creating a healthier society through providing space for active outdoor lifestyles and nutritious locally grown food.- Report

A report by Natural England and the Campaign to Protect Rural England
In this summary of the full report we draw together the main findings and ask how Green Belts might better connect urban centres to the wider countryside and to food production; how they can help us to tackle the huge challenges posed by a changing climate; and how they can be valued as part of a nationwide ecological network providing breathing places for people and for nature long into the future.- Report

CPRE's Manifesto for the General Election
Our countryside faces many challenges, but the coming election gives politicians the chance to shape the way we care for and use it now and in the future. In spring 2009, CPRE launched a vision for the countryside in 2026, our centenary year. We are optimistic that our countryside can be a better place than it is now, but that will depend on the decisions made between now and then. This short manifesto lays out a route to a better countryside for all – please ask candidates of all parties to support it through making pledges and taking action.- Leaflet

A response by CPRE London to the consultation on the draft strategy
The London branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE London) welcomes a number of the the strategy's high-level ideas, such as better public space, greater use of the Thames, public transport upgrades, car clubs and cycle hire. However, we are concerned that the strategy does not do enough to support the growth of cycling and walking, and could hinder London's economic development, carbon impact and quality of life (including tranquillity and air quality).- Consultation response
