Sustainability

A greener community that encourages a low-carbon lifestyle

All houses and community-use buildings at Barton Park will be constructed to a high standard of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, meeting at minimum Code Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

No development will take place within the floodplain of Bayswater Brook. In addition, sustainable Urban Drainage Systems will help manage flood risk, encourage wildlife and ensure an attractive landscaped environment is maintained.

As a Barton Park resident you can also join the sustainable food revolution, growing your own fruit and vegetables. The existing allotments will be retained and, where possible, new food growing areas will be provided for the community.
