Our Policies
Our aim is to provide development solutions that are lasting and sustainable and in doing so we take on board a responsibility to protect and care for the environment, and build strong community relationships.
As part of Barratt Redrow Plc, we closely consider environmental issues in our planning process and throughout our development processes, adopting a clear and focussed approach to sustainable development through remediation of brownfield sites, sympathetic design, careful selection of materials, imaginative landscaping and robust management solutions.
Preserving and improving the development environment through the creation of public realm and public open spaces is a priority for Wilson Bowden Developments. We also strive to create local employment and training opportunities as well as investing in local labour wherever possible.
Our commitment and responsibility to safeguarding the environment and enhancing communities, along with further policy documents can be found in the Barratt Redrow policies homepage.
