England's countryside is in danger of disappearing within a generation if urban sprawl and a decline in farming are not halted, a pressure group said. In a report entitled "Your countryside, your choice" the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) paints a picture of an England of 2035 blighted by new housing developments, fresh road building and airport expansion plans. Farmland could be either abandoned or ruined by overfarming.
