Publications
From time to time we publish guides/papers which we hope will be of interest to both professionals and laypeople.
Northamptonshire Landscape Design Guide
The Guide is intended to assist those wishing to build in the county and local planning authorities whose responsibility it is to approve locations for development. CPRE believes it is important that new developments should not only relate well to the landscape of the Northamptonshire countryside, but also enhance and further promote its appeal.

Northamptonshire Countryside Design Guide
New building does not have to follow old patterns but it does at least need to fit in with the distinctive vernacular style of Northamptonshire. We hope that this Design Guide will assist planning authorities, parish councils and developers to create a built environment of which the county can be proud.

Solar Farms - CPRE Northamptonshire policy
A brief statement by trustee Brian Skittrall of our policy on solar farms. We support the increased use of solar energy over fossil fuels, but developments should be sited where they do least damage to our precious landscapes.
