Our sustainability aspirations
In line with our commitment to be net-zero carbon by 2030 and as a long-term investor, it is our responsibility to ensure that our buildings are efficient to use and stand the test of time.
Sustainability is at the forefront of our proposals for the redevelopment of 188-216 Bath Road.
Deconstruction Benefits
Deconstruction is a green building initiative that ‘unbuilds’ and disassembles the existing structure to recover selected materials. By recovering and reusing or recycling building materials, deconstruction is a more environmentally friendly approach compared to demolition. Deconstruction ensures that less waste is going to landfill, and that the construction process has a smaller carbon footprint through reuse of materials.

Sustainability Measures
Our approach will recycle 99% of materials from existing buildings. The development will also include:
- Living moss walls
- Green roofs
- Solar panels to generate renewable energy
- Insect-friendly planting
- Increased biodiversity through more varied planting
- Sustainable drainage features
- Bird and bat boxes
- Electric vehicle, HGV and cycle charging points
- Environmental paving
Considerate Constructors
The deconstruction, building material recovery, and construction processes will be managed by a SEGRO-approved contractor.
This will mean these works will be carried out as per the Considerate Constructors Scheme. As part of this scheme, we will be ensuring that the demolition, material recovery, and construction activities are carried out with respect for the surrounding communities to minimise any potential disruption to our neighbours.
