- CPRE's policy on energy
- Climate change is the most urgent and complex environmental issue we face today. The impact of both energy generation and use on the countryside and the climate is growing. CPRE believes the Government should prioritise measures to curb the growth in energy demand, encourage energy efficiency, promote a wider range of renewable technologies and ensure that new energy generation is lower carbon.

- CPRE's policy on onshore wind turbines
- While wind energy can make an important contribution to tackling climate change, CPRE believes this should not come at the expense of the beauty, character and tranquillity of rural England. We assess wind turbine proposals for their potential impact on the landscape, taking account of their cumulative impact, and strongly resist those whose impact we consider to be unacceptable.

The South East
We've worked with leading NGOs to research the impact of climate change on everyday life in the next 50 years. The way we travel to work, the sports we play, our health and the environment could all be affected by shifting weather patterns. The report gives a snapshot of how the South East of England could change forever if we don't act now to reduce the impacts of climate change.- Report

- PPS22: Planning for Renewable Energy
A CPRE Briefing for campaigners
In 2004, PPS22 introduced new planning guidelines to support the national target of 10% electricity from renewable sources by 2010. Written for campaigners, this briefing outlines key aspects of the new regime and identifies a number of policy gaps and ambiguities.- Briefing

- New Response to the DECC consultation on Energy NPSs
- The Campaign to Protect Rural England recognises the urgent need for low carbon energy infrastructure and the challenge climate change poses, but we believe that the proposed energy NPSs need substantial revision before they are designated. Our concerns focus on the establishment of unlimited national need for energy infrastructure which threatens to create a presumption in favour of energy development; the curtailment of consideration of reasonable alternatives; clarification on the role and impact of Local Impact Reports; and the need to adopt a more spatially-literate approach to development.

- UK Renewable Energy Strategy Consultation
A CPRE response to the consultation paper by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform
CPRE's response supports government targets for increasing renewable energy but fears its proposals will weaken the planning system's ability to protect landscape, promote low-carbon development and engage with communities. The commercial basis for the Government's choice of renewable energy technologies means their deployment will have significant impacts on landscape. A strong focus on energy efficiency and energy saving is critical to reduce energy demand.- Consultation response
