Remember Your Biodiversity!

Although Code for Sustainable Homes has now been discontinued, the emphasis on biodiversity enhancements is very much alive under paragraph 109 of the NPFF.

The change in legislation was of course brought in by the government as one of several measures to help speed up and streamline the planning process, so that more homes can be built at a faster rate to cope with the ever growing demand.

​Here at JFA we work with many house builders who recognise the benefits of delivering sustainable homes and whilst the obligations of the Code may have been removed, we anticipate the principles will live on and we will continue to build sustainable homes in attractive landscape settings, whilst minimising potentially adverse effects on our environment and natural resources.
