Environment

As an innovative, responsible developer that believes in creating a positive legacy for future generations, Countryside Properties is committed to implementing the principles of sustainable development throughout our business.

In 2006, Countryside Properties was therefore delighted to achieve the International Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001:2004 from the British Standards Institute. We have also been recognised as the ‘Sustainable Housebuilder of the Year’ at the Building Sustainability Awards 2005.

We ensure that environmental considerations are incorporated into the planning and design of all our developments, and that the landscapes we create integrate with and enhance the surrounding natural and built environment. During construction we adhere to the principles of best construction practice and good neighbourliness through the Considerate Constructors Scheme.

Throughout our business we are looking to reduce our environmental and social impacts. Countryside Properties’ homes offer the benefits of reduced running costs through greater energy and water efficiency, reduced maintenance, as well as healthy, comfortable and flexible internal environments.
