Delivering a Sustainable Future

East Devon New Community

Client: Development consortium - Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon, Hallam Land, Redrow Homes

We prepared the sustainability report to support the outline planning application for this 2500 home development to the East of Exeter. The work involves close liaison with the development team and local authority planning department to ensure that the wide ranging sustainability requirements are addressed in an appropriate manner.

A sustainability assessment framework developed through our work on similar projects was used to promote a balanced approach. Issues addressed include:

  • Community development
  • Local enterprise, training and education
  • Biodiversity
  • Land use and urban quality
  • Transport and movement
  • Energy use
  • Waste management
  • Water consumption
  • Construction impacts and modern methods
  • Health and well being
