Buildings
When maintaining existing buildings and infrastructure, take care to ensure that biodiversity will not be adversely affected. For example, you should check for signs of bats using buildings and otters using watercourses, nesting birds etc.
A range of key guidance references is available in Buildings, Highways and Infrastructure Maintenance
and the pages in this section.
Town centres
New development in our town centres can offer a lot more when biodiversity is kept in mind.
Hospitals and nursing homes
Improving the biodiversity of your grounds can have health benefits too.
