Tranquillity

EDM number 1107 in 2006-07, proposed by John Penrose on 13/03/2007.

That this House recognises the significance of tranquillity and its importance to quality of life; is concerned that many areas are under severe pressure from encroaching greenfield development, light pollution and road and air traffic; acknowledges the importance of urban parks and suburban gardens as pockets of relative tranquillity in urban environments; praises the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) for creating and developing a quantified, evidenced and robust way of measuring tranquillity across the country; welcomes the measures proposed, with cross-party support, in the Rural Tranquillity Bill; and calls upon the Government to measure tranquillity through a system similar to the one the CPRE has developed, publish the results annually, and amend planning policy to protect, preserve and enhance tranquillity in future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 136 MPs.
