Development
- A Basis on Which to Build?
A report by Europe Economics for the Campaign to Protect Rural England
The Barker Review suggests that there would need to be a doubling of new house building creating an extra 120,000 new homes a year to meet demand and counter house price inflation. This report challenges the basic assumption that there is an undersupply of new homes. Census data from 2001 reveals that there is actually a surplus of housing in all regions across England.

Greenfield housing land supply and the viability of brownfield housing development
Brownfield regeneration has been one of the great unsung success stories of recent years. Land is now developed more efficiently for housing; this has improved the urban environment and protected the countryside from unnecessary sprawl. There is a real danger that short-sighted responses to current economic conditions could undermine urban regeneration schemes in the future.- Report

How we can continue to improve housing for everyone without damaging the environment and sprawling over the countryside
Kate Barker's report: Barker Review of Housing Supply published in March 2004, commissioned by the Government, suggests that there would need to be a doubling of new house building creating an extra 120,000 new homes a year to meet demand and counter house price inflation. Our report presents evidence that there is no overall shortage of housing for sale and a massive boost in output would create needless environmental damage. It looks at the factors which have been fuelling demand and what measures could be introduced to counter this. We do however support the Barker Review's recommendation for an increase in the building of more affordable subsidised housing and the desire to see every household with a decent home of its own.

- We need new housing that is well designed and located, meets local needs and enhances the environment. A strong planning system is vital to achieving this. It can breathe new life into run-down urban areas while protecting the countryside for future generations to enjoy.

- CPRE's policy on brownfield land
- Land is a precious resource, and must be used wisely. Much progress has been made in recent years in making use of previously developed land, or ‘brownfield sites’, for new development. Around three quarters of new homes are now built on brownfield sites. Overall, this is good news for the countryside, and good news for urban areas which have benefited from regeneration. CPRE supports a ‘brownfield first, greenfield last’ strategy as a general principle. However, just because a site is brownfield does not mean it should necessarily be developed.
