Every new home delivered by Lioncourt Homes will include an integral universal bird nesting brick or box and hedgehog highways. Lioncourt Homes will continue to incorporate nature-friendly planting schemes designed to support pollinators and enhance ecological diversity, alongside sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) where appropriate. These features may include rain gardens, balancing ponds and permeable surfaces, which help manage surface water responsibly while also creating valuable habitats for wildlife.
The commitment encourages a range of additional ecological enhancements, many of which are already being delivered across Lioncourt developments. These include insect and bee bricks, bat roosting tiles and boxes, bug hotels and hibernacula, providing vital shelter for insects, birds, bats, reptiles and amphibians throughout the year.
Gemma Corrigan, senior urban designer at Lioncourt Homes, said: 鈥淛oining the Homes for Nature initiative marks an important step in the continued evolution of Lioncourt Homes as we scale the business and strengthen our technical and environmental standards across every new development.
鈥淲orking in partnership with the Future Homes Hub allows us to embed robust ecological measures into our core specification from the outset, ensuring the homes and communities we create are resilient, future-ready and aligned with long-term biodiversity objectives."
