What is land take?EEA definition:
• Loss of agriculture, forest and other semi-natural and natural land taken by urban and other artificial land development.
• It includes areas where soil is sealed by construction and urban infrastructure as well as urban green areas and sport and leisure facilities.
Roadmap on Resource Efficient Europe:
• Milestone: no net land-take by 2050. What does this mean? No net change (increase) in built-up areas. If built-up new infrastructure have to reclaim the area some where else (e.g. transform brownfields into agriculture or natural land).

What are the policy responses to land take? • Cohesion Policy (2014-2020) – thematic objective: environmental
protection and resource efficiency. Funds flow to infrastructure developments (e.g. in 2000-2006 period – 5100 km road built, 8400 km rail built, etc.)
• Roadmap on Resource Efficient Europe – milestone: no net land-take by 2050.
• Territorial Agenda 2020 - changes in land use (urbanisation, mass tourism, etc.) threaten landscapes and lead to fragmentation of natural habitats and ecological corridors.
• Guidelines to limit soil sealing - measures for limiting soil sealing include 'land take' targets, planning restrictions and rules on preferential development of brownfield sites.

What are the policy responses to land take? • Rural Development Policy (towards 2020) - priorities include
restoring, preserving, and enhancing ecosystems e.g. N2000 , landscapes, soil management, etc.
• The Common Transport Policy - development of transport services must take account of their possible effects on the environment.
• European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) - advocates the development of a sustainable, polycentric and balanced urban system with compact cities.
• Leipzig Charter of Sustainable European Cities – compact settlement structure as especially sustainable.
