CPRE Staffordshire is a registered charity (no. 219443) which exists to
promote and encourage the protection, improvement and preservation of the
countryside of Staffordshire and its towns and villages and the whole of the
rural environment.
CPRE Staffordshire is part of a national organisation which has branches in
every county. The Patron of CPRE is Her Majesty the Queen and its President
is Mr. Bill Bryson.
The President of CPRE Staffs. is Mr. James Hawley the Lord Lieutenant
of Staffordshire and the Chairman is Mr. J. Roberts.
Membership of the Staffordshire Branch is open to all and comes from all over
the County. Members are kept up to date on Branch activities by Newsletters
issued three times each year and outings and social occasions are arranged
so that members may meet and get first hand news of activities.
Much of CPRE work is the examination of and comment on proposed County
and Local Plans and subsequent attendance of the public examination of such
plans. All of this in furtherance of the mission to protect, preserve and
enhance the Staffordshire countryside. In addition Planning Applications are
monitored to ensure that developments are in line with the plans and also
follow Government issued Planning Policy Guidance.
The work described is carried out by, and under advice from, the Branch Technical
Officer Mr. P.J.D. Goode
To ensure that local views are central to its considerations of planning matters
there are four District Groups, whose Chairmen are part of the Branch Executive
Committee, which maintain a strong liaison with the County Branch and conduct
campaigns on potentially damaging developments in their district.
The Branch has been in existence for over 60 years and in that time has been
instrumental in preventing many damaging developments in the County.
Anyone who values the Staffordshire countryside is invited to join the organisation
either as a supporter of the work or as an active participant in the work.
All are welcome and help is needed. If you are willing to provide financial
support, either by donation or by becoming a member, please go to Support
Details.
If you are willing to become an active participant please go to Help
Wanted.
