What we do
We campaign to raise awareness of issues that affect the Norfolk countryside, such as housing, transport, light pollution and renewable energy. We form volunteer campaign groups and take positive action to get our message across. We promote solutions for the future of our local countryside.
We respond to planning applications which may threaten the tranquillity of rural communities or the beauty of rural landscapes. We may fight proposals for a large supermarket on the outskirts of a small market town. We may appeal against unnecessary and intrusive signs on roads. We may appeal against damaging changes to one of Norfolk's listed buildings. Or we may reject proposals for a windfarm on the grounds of countryside character and landscape issues. We often work with local people and provide our experience of the planning system to support local action.
We seek to influence decision makers; from those on parish and town councils, to landscape architects and planning departments at the district and county councils. We work with the EDP, BBC Radio Norfolk and other local media to get our message across to the general public.
We were responsible for setting up the Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust to ensure the restoration and preservation of some of Norfolk's finest old churches and listed buildings. We form part of the committee of the Village of the Year awards, rewarding Norfolk's best kept villages and thriving community groups. And we run our own annual awards scheme; the CPRE Norfolk Awards, to reward examples of excellent conservation projects, sustainable architecture and schools environmental initiatives.
