BUILDING WITH NATURE
We have launched a new service which offers clients a green infrastructure benchmark.
Building with Nature (BwN) is a standards framework which defines ‘what good looks like’ by offering a set of quality standards for placemaking and place-keeping from the point of view of both planners and developers.
Our qualified Approved Building with Nature Assessor covers Wales and the North West.
A growing number of local authorities are turning to Building with Nature accreditation to help frame their green infrastructure strategy and to define what good looks like.
Increasingly, developers are also using the Standards to create better places for people and wildlife.
BwN is the UK’s first green infrastructure benchmark and it is based around 12 standards relating to Core, Wellbeing, Water and Wildlife. The aim is to help residential and commercial developers to design and deliver high-quality green infrastructure. It also gives guidance to policy makers in how to clearly define green-infrastructure in policy documents.
If it meets the standards, a BwN award can provide a development scheme or a policy document with independent and formal verification.
