September 2024
Dear John
As a result of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) consultation, our
planning system may be getting the biggest shake-up in years. We've consulted
with local CPREs, supporters, and members and have set out five ways in which
the NPPF can be improved. Keep reading to find out more.
In other news, we've got the results of an exclusive poll with YouGov about
access to the countryside. This is timely research, as some local CPREs ran
events for their first ever Countryside Day on 7 September. You can find out
more below.
Finally, you can find out more about Jess, a CPRE volunteer who is bringing a
youth voice to planning, along with a case study about Lune Valley Community
Land Trust – delivering affordable housing for local people.

OUR PLANNING SYSTEM IS CHANGING: HERE'S HOW WE WANT TO SHAPE IT
The new government has quickly placed planning reform in the crosshairs in their
drive for change, launching a NPPF consultation within just a few weeks of
assuming office. We need more houses, and we need rapid rollout of clean energy
– but neither needs to come at the expense of our countryside and green spaces.
Find out more about how we’re influencing this consultation, and why it matters
– to us all.

MAJORITY OF PEOPLE VALUE ACCESS TO THE COUNTRYSIDE, CPRE/YOUGOV POLLING REVEALS
Our recent research with YouGov showed that the vast majority (85%) of people in
Great Britain value having access to the countryside close to where they live.
The government has already begun making decisions that will shape our
countryside for generations to come – we’re calling on them to make good on
their promises to protect the countryside, including the Green Belt.

CPRE'S 'COUNTRYSIDE DAY' PILOT LAUNCHED
On Saturday 7 September 2024, a group of local CPREs hosted their own
Countryside Day, as part of a pilot aimed at establishing an annual event for
CPRE. This brand-new public event is a celebration of all things wonderful about
our countryside, and helping more people connect with it. You can find out about
the events that took place below.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE LUNE VALLEY COMMUNITY LAND TRUST
As part of our rural affordable housing campaign, we’ve spoken to people across
the country – both those who have been affected by it, and those who are working
towards solutions. We spoke to Charles at the Lune Valley Community Land Trust
to find out more about how they’re delivering affordable, sustainable homes for
local people.

PROVIDING A YOUTH PERSPECTIVE ON PLANNING
We’re always grateful for the work that CPRE volunteers do for our countryside
and rural communities. Recently, Jess, a planning volunteer at CPRE Lancashire,
Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester, shared her experiences with us,
and why she thinks it’s important to get more young people involved in planning.
