interested in the ability of a development to provide a comfortable and healthy
lifestyle whilst demonstrating consumption of fewer resources over time. For
example.
       Hydraulics consultants have prepared reports that cover Stormwater
        management, collection and retention systems. Stored water will be available
        for onsite ancillary uses where currents codes allow. ( It is hoped that in
        some cases the current codes do not constrain, some of the sustainable
        options being considered)
       Hot water, heating systems are being option evaluated, and final
        assessments will weigh up the carbon embedded in the heating and
        reticulation of hot water, as well as minimising any chance of water wastage.
        Early indications are that Heat pumps in strategic locations will be more
        effective than one central plant. The Da reflects this initial outcome.
       Shade structures that have been indicated are likely to be covered with a
        new product that has photovoltaic cell structure and discussions are
        underway, to determine a return to the grid and or other benefits.
       As a part of the construction process it is anticipated that, vegetation will be
        removed, it is understood that the finished scheme will undertake exhaustive
        landscaping and make full restitution to the landscape environment.
       Design actively engages the key passive design tools available, and
        promotes opportunities for cross ventilation.
