NORFOLK LIGHTWATCH
To report examples of intrusive or excessive lighting in the Norfolk countryside, please complete our online LIGHTWATCH form. We will then take up the case and write to the district council on your behalf. CPRE Norfolk also has a Light Pollution Certificate for cases where lighting has been applied sensitively. To make recommendations please contact us.
This campaign concerns the issue of dark skies and aims to tackle the increasing levels of light pollution in the UK. Satellite maps show how dark skies are disappearing from our landscapes as the levels of artificial light in urban and rural areas dramatically increase, destroying the character of our countryside.
In Norfolk, over a quarter of the land area has experienced significant increases in levels of light pollution between 1993 and 2000, and truly dark skies are now only visible in 12% of the county. The darkness of rural landscapes in Norfolk has never been in such need of our protection.
The Campaign to Protect Rural England exists to promote the beauty, tranquillity and diversity of rural England by encouraging the sustainable use of land and other natural resources in town and country.
