- Protect Kent seeks to ensure the survival of our County’s landscapes and heritage.
- Protect Kent aims to protect the county from inappropriate developments wherever they may occur.
- Protect Kent looks to give constructive criticism to developers and local authorities in order to ensure that all development within the County is sustainable for future generations.
- Protect Kent aims to provide creative and innovative solutions wherever possible to problems of development in Kent.
- Whilst our focus is on rural issues, we believe in protecting our County holistically and thus also look at planning issues in the greenbelt and urban environments.
- We aim to ensure our County’s future through lobbying local government, and expert use of the planning system.
We aim to protect the County from inappropriate development wherever it may happen, in order to create a sustainable and attractive future for Kent. We look to ensure that the heritage of Kent, its character and place are not diluted or homogenised by inappropriate developments and we seek solutions for developers and local authorities wherever possible. Currently Kent is very ‘growth’ focussed, and thus it is especially necessary that we are at the forefront of analysing proposed developments to ensure our county remains as beautiful as it always has for future generations to grow up in.
We have been lucky to work on many inappropriate developments, and have helped to ensure our countryside remains as beautiful for future generations as it has been for past. |

Who We Are
Despite the smallness of our country, its high population density and widespread, intense pressure for development, we still have, in England, large areas of incomparably beautiful countryside. CPRE exists to protect our natural landscapes from destruction and degradation.
Established in 1926, CPRE is a registered charity with about 60,000 members and supporters. The charity operates as a network with over 200 district groups, a branch in every county, a group in every region and a national office. Over 2,000 parish councils and 800 amenity societies belong to CPRE. This makes CPRE a powerful combination of effective local action and strong national campaigning.
