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.
CPRE South East monitors and liases with the South East England Regional Assembly, and other regional government bodies, including the Government Office of the South East.
You will find more about our work through this website, and links to the county branches of CPRE in the South East region.
