Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) continues to embed into the ESG agenda. 🌳 Our Sustainability Director Josie Cadwallader-Hughes sat down with Perry Cleveland-Peck at The Wall Street Journal to discuss England’s pioneering #BNG framework and our approach to it. Josie shared her experience in how it is possible to balance development with nature conservation, providing a financial incentive for preserving #biodiversity: "The reality is, nature is way more complex than a spreadsheet could be. But this metric, the calculator that’s behind it, provides a degree of clarity for something that is really complex. It sets an equal footing for us and our competitors to be compared against.” Since 2020, our planning applications have scored an average of 15.47% BNG. We're pleased to comment on such a significant framework which is gaining attention at international gatherings such as COP16, and believe in nature and new homes thriving in harmony. 📰 Article by Perry Cleveland-Peck: https://lnkd.in/ehJSSwzV #Thakeham #WSJ

"After sending a friend to check it out for us, we were mesmerised. He called us from his car and said, ‘You need to live here, I’ve never seen a place like this.' He showed us the development on the video call and that sealed the deal." 🏡 Pilots Jai & Norbi made the move to Woodgate earlier this year as it ticked all their boxes for their busy careers and desire for a spacious new home. Jai & Norbi, stated that another plus point that drew them to Woodgate is the peace and quiet. "Because we work with planes every day, the last thing we want is to live under a flight path," Norbi explains. "At Woodgate, it’s rare to hear aircraft noise. We’ve sat on our balcony with a glass of wine in the evening, listening to the birds. It’s a peaceful spot.” 🌲🐦 On the hunt for your next home?

We’re featured in Inside Housing! 📰✨ James Riding spoke to our CEO Rob Boughton about the need to scale up the delivery of Zero Bills homes and bring down the additional costs of associated sustainable technologies 🏡⚡ They also discussed how the UK can build more affordable Zero Bills homes, with adoption currently low with housing associations, councils and social landlords due to social and affordable rent caps. “We’ve got the ability to deliver net-zero homes. Why aren’t we? Let’s make this work for the affordable sector. Let’s give them a bit of energy savings back, so they can have it as rent, and they can do it across all new homes they’re delivering. If we do that at scale, it brings the cost down of every battery and every solar panel and every air source heat pump.” Read Rob’s interview in full: https://lnkd.in/eGd56Fvq #InsideHousing #ZeroBills
