CPRE South East Region

The countryside of south east England faces exceptional threats. The South East Plan, which proposes at least 580,000 homes over the next 20 years, will lead to unprecedented damage to the rural landscape. This level of development is environmentally unsustainable, and the south east is in danger of drying out through water shortages, of suffering steadily worsening traffic congestion and air pollution, and of being overwhelmed by a rising tide of household waste.
