But we need YOUR support to make this project a reality - watch this space..

INCREDIBLE - 30,000 people have signed our petition to stop the government's drive to deregulate the planning system 💪

These plans pose a huge risk to the countryside and the communities living and working there. SIGN and SHARE to help us stop them. https://takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/66589/petition/1?ea.tracking.id=twitter

This forest is on Rombalds Moor south west of Ilkley. I like the light through the trees - a different aspect of the West Yorkshire countryside.

In early October we’re in court challenging the government’s unfair #planningreform - a huge case.

We’re a small and new organisation and need help with the legal costs.

Please chip in and spread the word!

Coppice Pond at the Bingley St Ives estate was looking very tranquil this morning. The paths nearby were busy with families meeting up outdoors in a public green space and enjoying the fine weather. Wonderful!

The planning system needs careful & sensible reform, not major, hurried and untested changes.

With @CPRE @GreenpeaceUK @friends_earth @RamblersGB & @Campaign4Parks, we're urging the government to rethink its White Paper.

We are really looking forward to meeting new friends on our Planning White Paper support webinar. It is really important that people are supported to have a say on the proposals.

“We found that there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10%, then the amount of driving in that city went up by 10%.” One of the best articles on why building bigger roads just leads to more driving.
