The LifE Approach
The life project addresses the need for new homes, an increased risk of flooding and a heightened environmental standard, by integrating three approaches:
Living with Water - Adapting to increased flood frequency and severity, likely to happen with climate change. Making Space for Water - Working with natural processes to provide room for the river to expand in times of flood, reducing reliance on defences and returning sites to green field run off rates where possible. Zero Carbon - Providing all energy needs from renewable resources on site, such as wind, tidal and solar power. |
