The UK Environment Agency has published a report providing practical advice on reducing the environmental impacts of new development, titled ‘Building a better environment’. It argues that development doesn’t have to harm the environment – if it is well located, planned and designed, it can actually make improvements to the environment and provide a better place for people to live.
The report includes guidance on:
- Managing the risk of flooding
- Managing surface water
- Using water wisely
- Wildlife and green space
- Preventing pollution
- Managing waste
- Land affected by contamination
- Sustainable construction
- Recreation, society and health
