About
Design for Biodiversity was established by the London Development Agency, Greater London Authority, Natural England, Groundwork London and London Wildlife Trust.
The Design for Biodiversity Project is a partnership project established to promote the conservation of wildlife as part of the design and management of buildings and urban landscapes in London. Although the project is London-based, the importance of Design for Biodiversity and the features and opportunities addressed on this website are wholly relevant and applicable within all development and regeneration.
The objectives of the project are to promote best practice and support developers in going beyond legislative compliance, while demonstrating the benefits of the approach in delivering cross-policy objectives on access to nature, climate change and water resource management. Further details on the approach can be found in the
'Why Design for Biodiversity' section and the
'Guidance Document'.
