ENRICHMENT THROUGH BIO-DIVERSITY UB3
from HAYES VILLAGE
At Hayes Village, a specialised planting scheme encourages biodiversity with native tree species and year-round bee-friendlyfloweringplants, whilst a large wildflower meadow will help insects and hedgehogs to forage.
Batandbirdboxes will be installed as high as possible, away from natural light to encourage bats to roost and birds such as house sparrows, swifts, and tits to make their nests here, while biodiverse green and brown roofs will increase natural wildlife habitats.
Across London in 2021, not only were all our new homes built on brownfield land, but we also created over12acresofnewgreenspaceforpeople andwildlife.
