‘Once in a generation chance to unleash potential of the countryside’ – CPRE launches regeneration manifesto

Help save local democracy and our ability to shape the future of where we live – CPRE Hampshire responds to the Government’s Planning White Paper

The Government is currently consulting on the largest overhaul of the planning system in over 70 years. Nationally and locally in Hampshire, CPRE has a number of major concerns with the proposed reforms and has convened a coalition of over 40 housing, planning and environmental organisations in opposition to the White Paper.

CPRE Hampshire’s response to the Planning for the Future White Paper

As a further part of its reform of the planning system, the Government has put forward a series of radical proposals to address what they see as an outdated and ineffective planning system. Whilst there are some aspects we believe are promising, and the planning system is without doubt in need of improvement, we do not accept the fundamental premise that it is the cause of an affordability issue in housing.

Time to think about just how much we rely on these curious creatures to produce the food we know and love! 🪱🪱🪱

Not to mention - a hit with the kids and a wonderful talking point! An easy & fun activity idea for a future LOFS event! 👏

Anyone know of any good ones to visit?

Our report finds enough brownfield land for 1.3 million homes, land we can use for development while protecting the countryside.

Let’s use #brownfieldfirst, and build back better by breathing life into derelict areas of our towns, cities and villages.
