The leader of the Conservative Party is to give a speech which will look at the issues surrounding the countryside and housing.

David Cameron will look at the issues which are currently affecting those who live in the countryside and housing is one of the biggest.

As the UK continues to suffer from a shortage of housing, the government plans to build three million new homes by 2020.

Some are concerned that the new housing may ruin communities and the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) said that there are many issues which will be discussed.

"The countryside faces an uncertain future. Climate change, population growth, housing expansion, and demands for new transport and energy infrastructure, as well as acute pressure on farming and rural communities, all add up to a major agenda for change," said Shaun Spiers from the CPRE.

"How can we make better use of our scarce land resource? Who and what is the countryside for? How can we develop sustainable rural communities? These are the some of the questions we are considering," he added.

Mr Cameron''s speech will take place on May 12th.
