Local five-star housebuilder Barratt Developments Yorkshire East, which includes the Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes brands, has been leaving green footprints across the region this year through its environmentally conscious attitude towards homebuilding practices.
The division, which has the Tranby Fields development in Hessle, Harrier Chase development in Brough and Harland Park and Poppy Fields developments in Cottingham, built 766 new homes during 2019.
A conscious effort was made to support the local environment, with 54,506 trees and shrubs planted or retained on developments and 96% of construction waste diverted from landfill. A further 11.2 hectares of green space was created through publicly accessible open space and private gardens, equivalent to around 572 tennis courts.
Peter Morris, Development Director at Barratt Developments Yorkshire East, said:
“As a five-star housebuilder, sustainable building is a key consideration throughout the development process. We are very aware of the effect our work can have on the local environment and community, and we are extremely dedicated to developing more environmentally friendly processes that take care of the communities we build in.”
“During 2019 alone, 1,700 jobs were generated directly and indirectly through our work, equivalent to two jobs per dwelling – 500 sub-contractor companies and a further 440 supplier companies were also supported. What’s more, 90% of our components were manufactured in the UK and £2.1million was made in local contributions.”
