Environmental Sustainability
At Bargate we believe in building sustainable communities that are designed to last. As such we have put environmental sustainability at the heart of our proposals which will ensure the new community is fit for the future. This will be based around the three themes of biodiversity, carbon emissions and nitrates.

Biodiversity
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) shall be mitigated using on-site and off-site schemes. Bargate shall not be maintaining in perpetuity as this transfers to a Management Company. The outline permission provides a condition for an Ecological Management and Mitigation Plan which shall be issued and agreed with the Council to ensure all the measures shall be brought forward and maintained.
An Ecological Assessment was undertaken in support of the site and agreed at Outline with the Council. These included habitats, bats, dormice, wintering birds, great crested newts and reptiles.

Nitrates
The outline planning permission has confirmed the development can be delivered without mitigation.

Energy and Emissions
We at Bargate believe in building homes for the future, energy and water efficient technologies including, electric vehicle charging points. Air Source Heat Pumps shall be installed to every plot. We have designed our development with sustainable and active travel in mind. A network of pathways will allow easy travel by foot or cycle within the development, together with easy access to existing settlements and the area beyond the development. This will reduce carbon emissions as well as improving air quality as fewer journeys are made by car.
