Climate change is the challenge of our time and this, combined with the Government demands for volume house building is a balancing act that all house builders and developers must\u00a0consider.\u00a0It\u2019s essential that housing developments are built sustainably, have a positive impact on wildlife and adopt nature-based solutions as we transition to a sustainable future.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with nature<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Biodiversity in new housing developments: creating wildlife-friendly communities<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>is the latest report commissioned by the NHBC Foundation, with the support of the RSPB and Barratt Developments. It demonstrates how the house-building industry is uniquely placed in having an opportunity to create not just houses, but sustainable communities, where people thrive alongside wildlife.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A sustainable future<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of the focus on \u2018sustainable housing\u2019 is on reducing carbon emissions, however, appropriately designed green infrastructure also plays an important role in the sustainability agenda.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The report combines design concepts, practical solutions and best practice case studies that place ecosystems at the\u00a0centre\u00a0of the house-building process. It looks in detail at building new homes in a sustainable way that enhances wildlife, develops climate resilience, and improves people\u2019s health and wellbeing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This report is a guide to the practicalities of building new homes in a sustainable way that enhances wildlife, develops climate resilience and improves people\u2019s health and wellbeing.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
