Evidence

Needs analysis

We’ll carry out an assessment of local and regional needs and planning policy to develop the evidence base of the local context. This provides confidence that sustainability is being deeply embedded into designs for the proposed development.

Aspirations

Early-stage visioning

We conduct a visioning exercise with the design team to present and discuss the needs analysis and explore early project aspirations and day-in-the-life scenarios that can be taken forward into a prospectus.

Values

Due diligence

We conduct due diligence on proposed sites to ensure alignment with Bioregional’s core values and the principles of One Planet Living® - our readymade, tried and tested sustainability framework for the built environment

Embedded

A critical friend

We act as your sustainability champion, embedded within the design team, providing sustainable design and planning support. We use One Planet Living® or bespoke alternatives where requested. Acting as your critical friend, we’ll hold the design team to account and ensure the project meets our high standards.

Impact

Post-occupancy evaluation and community management

We help ensure your scheme has a net-positive impact on the planet with an operational management strategy that includes proactive community engagement on behaviour change, and regular performance monitoring.
