Ecology & Habitat Preservation With the ever increasing man made pressures on the habitats of our native flora and fauna, there is now a growing awareness of the importance of preserving existing habitats and the incorporation of measures to help offset the loss of habitat associated with a new development. We aim to design in a sustainable manner. This includes the incorporation of design elements that protect and enhance our ecology and minimises the impact of development on our natural resources. Encouraging wildlife into our external spaces can provide children with a valuable educational resource. Working with ecologists we can advise on strategic locations for bird, bat and bug boxes. We are able to integrate native plant species with ornamental varieties to provide visually pleasing planting schemes which are ecologically biodiverse and beneficial. We have a good understanding of the BREEAM and Code for Sustainable Homes process. As a consequence we are able to advise our clients on where relevant credits are likely to be available.
