The practice has familiarised itself with Government guidelines on sustainability and several projects are currently being worked on where the Code for Sustainability is being adhered to with the various Levels therein being considered. In addition previous work by the practice’s members provides relevant experience working with Government bodies on the assessment of projects for national funding programmes such as NOF and Sport England. We have developed our methods of screening individual developments and proposals at an early stage to ensure that considerations of sustainability are built in from the outset. Our approach to sustainability and our responsibility as a practice is fundamental to our approach in all aspects of our services.
