Regional policy
- A CPRE briefing on the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill
CPRE's briefing outlines our concern that the Government's Bill to streamline the planning process places too great an emphasis on economic development, to the detriment of the environment, and will considerably restrict local democracy. We feel the steps needed to enable planning to manage land-use change in the interests of society as a whole demand genuine engagement with local communities and a commitment to environmental sustainability.

- Even Regions, Greener Growth
- A major new report highlighting the link between disparities in economic performance between the English regions and the consequences for the environment and quality of life. The report sets out for the first time how continuing urban decay and population loss in the less prosperous areas is coupled with sprawling development and worsening congestion in others. It challenges the Government to ensure that, rather than exacerbating these problems by relaxing planning controls and building more infrastructure, the drive for a more even pattern of economic growth promotes an urban renaissance and protects the countryside in all regions.

- Our briefing summarises our findings from our report Environmental Sustainability and English Regional Strategies which compared the progress of England's nine regions in the sustainability stakes. Our research found that there are some good green policies in each of England's nine regions. But overall each region is being held back by having to comply with central Government requirements to adopt environmentally damaging policies and trends.
