Environment

The advantage of Barking Riverside’s large open spaces is that it allows a balance between residential, recreational and ecological areas to be created. The open space takes up 40% of the entire site and will be divided between the natural landscape and public parks shaped and integrated into neighbourhood areas, whilst areas of ecological interest remain protected.

The scheme emphasises the use of public transport and preserves valuable ecological habitats. Environmental concerns have been integrated into every aspect of the development, not least by creating a place where everyday needs can be met locally. Our energy efficient infrastructure will make low demands on natural resources and we will be open to new environmental techniques throughout the lifetime of the development.

All homes at Barking Riverside will have to reach high sustainability standards which balance environmental performance with the need for a high quality of life and a healthy environment.
