Back Together Again
Despite being inseparable, decisions on transport and land use are increasingly being made in isolation of each other. The Government’s Ten-Year Transport Plan promotes mobile-intensive lifestyles, while its Communities Plan is generating more traffic and pressure for road building. This report explains how transport and land use can be re-united to support more environmentally sustainable lifestyles.

New Better Transport Planning for Eco-towns

CPRE's policy on transport
Cars have opened up opportunities for living and working in rural areas and for visiting the countryside. Previously remote places are now within easy reach of urban areas, and the rural population has grown as a result. These increased opportunities come at a cost, however: speeding traffic, noise, pollution and new roads threaten the landscape and character of rural areas. The environmental impact of transport has become a pressing issue, and a new approach to transport policy is necessary.

New Response to Local Transport Plan Consultation
New guidance on Local Transport Plans proposes a a 'new relationship' between the Department for Transport and local authorities' Local Transport Plans.  While welcoming greater flexibility, CPRE is concerned that without new powers and common indicator sets it will become harder to reduce carbon emissions and integrate transport with land use planning.

New Response to the refresh of the Setting Local Speed Limits Circular
The Campaign to Protect Rural England believes the changes to the use of 20mph in urban areas as a significant step in the right direction but remains concerned that no change is proposed for rural speed limits, particularly on country lanes. We welcome the recognition of the wider impact of speed limits but believe that updated guidance should to follow the new circular to prevent confusion and encourage lighter touch traffic calming.

Running to Stand Still
The first heavyweight analysis of the Government’s Ten-Year Transport Plan written by Professor Phil Goodwin, who advised on the preparation of the Government's Transport White Paper. His analysis reveals that the Government's targets for reducing congestion are misleading and the benefits of measures to boost bus use and walking and cycling have been underestimated. The research raises major questions about the current direction of transport policy and sets out the case for a change in approach.
