Our Biodiversity Programme

By enhancing local ecosystems our properties are more attractive places to work, live in and visit, and are thus more attractive to occupiers.

The British Land Biodiversity Programme, published in 2005, promotes the consideration of biodiversity at each stage of the property lifecycle.

We manage and enhance biodiversity at our properties through Biodiversity Action Plans ('BAPs'). In 2006 we implemented site-specific BAPs forTeesside Shopping Park and Regent's Place and developed them for Meadowhall Shopping Centre and Blythe Valley Park.

Our Urban Generic BAP and our Soft Landscape Generic BAP can be implemented across the portfolio at properties which do not require their own site-specific BAP. They contain generic measures, for instance relating to providing habitats for birds and bats.
