Our Sustainable Communities Project
Future Foundations will over the next two years be seeking to develop the whole life value concept *and promote it within the South West Region.
* ie societal and community value such as health and well-being not just narrow monetary or land value while still taking legal and commercial factors into account.
We want all our developments to reflect these wider values and therefore we will work towards fully defining them and providing information to developers and all involved in the delivery process. Watch this space for further developments. If you have relevant case studies or you would like to be involved in this project by providing some tangible support or contribution then please contact us.
The Southwest Sustainability Checklist includes a number of items relevant to sustainable community
www.checklistsouthwest.co.uk
The Checklist is an easy-to-use online tool that has been developed by Future Foundations and BRE. Devised specifically to guide the design of new developments by making sense of current policy, the Checklist highlights best practice, complementing Ecohomes and the new Code for Sustainable Homes and includes sections for community, place making and transport.
