One Planet Living goals and guidance inside

The guide is particularly timely, arriving just as the UK looks to accelerate its housebuilding efforts. It’s a clear pathway for developers to design projects that regenerate ecosystems, tackle the climate crisis, and foster community well-being, while also enhancing sales, reducing vacancies, and improving tenancies.

As Sue Riddlestone OBE, our CEO, says:

One Planet Living simplifies sustainability, bringing stakeholders together to co-design communities that live within planetary boundaries.

The new guide is the result of extensive collaboration with industry experts, drawing on insights from leaders in the built environment to ensure that the guidance is both robust and achievable.

Jon Di-Stefano, CEO of sustainable housebuilder, Greencore Homes added:

One Planet Living is a key part of our approach to creating thriving, sustainable communities. Its flexibility allows us to set ambitious, site-specific goals while addressing every aspect of sustainability—not just carbon reduction—in a truly holistic way.

We’d like to say a special thanks to our expert review panel: Greencore Homes, Clarion Housing Group, Town and Country Planning Association, Good Homes Alliance, Hatch, Space Syntax, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Etude, ASBP, Nicole Lazarus, and Lewis Knight.
