England's masterpiece under threat

You may have read about our latest research on the threats to our most treasured landscapes. Our new report, Going, going, gone? England's disappearing landscapes, reveals how our countryside is under unprecedented development pressures.

We now need to persuade the Government to strengthen national planning policy by giving greater weight to the protection of nationally designated and locally valued landscapes.
CPRE's charter to save our countryside,

We've had over 12,000 people sign up to the Save our Countryside charter. But we need to increase this support to demonstrate our strength in the fight for the countryside and to persuade politicians at a local and national level that they must listen to public opinion. Together we can protect our most treasured landscapes.
