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?
