47 Strawberry Vale
Project
Strawberry Vale is a unique site with our friends Dyer Grimes Architects. A large existing site sitting on the banks of the River Thames in Richmond, with its very own jetty and boathouse! The proposal was to demolish the existing 1960s building and create a truly special piece of modern architecture, as seen in the impression.
Services Green Tiger have undertaken:
Life Cycle Carbon assessment to determine the case for demolition of the existing building and the erection of a new dwelling.
Passive design and energy strategy/cost advice
Energy Strategy report, following London’s Energy Hierarchy, showing how a 40% CO2 reduction over building regulations and 20% on-site renewables can be achieved.
Completion of Richmond Council’s Sustainability Construction Checklist.
Hailing Park Flats
Project
Haling Park Flats is a block of 9 flats in Croydon built by our long-standing clients Signature Living, comprising nine high-quality apartments with associated parking, landscaping and refuse facilities. The scheme replaces a single dwelling with a contemporary apartment block that meets Croydon Council’s ambitious sustainability and energy targets.
Services Green Tiger have undertaken:
Energy and Carbon Strategy — Demonstrated compliance with Building Regulations Part L and achieved a 22% carbon reduction across the site, exceeding Croydon’s policy requirement of 19%.
Through excellent building fabric, incorporation of waste-water heat recovery to all showers and 16.9 kWp of solar PV distributed across the 9 flats.
Water Efficiency Strategy — Delivered full compliance with Part G and Croydon Condition 11, achieving 101 litres/person/day through low-flow fittings, aerated taps, 6 L/min showers, and efficient white goods.
Sustainability Coordination — Liaison with Croydon Council to confirm adherence to all sustainability planning requirements and provide final compliance certification for occupation.
Foots Farm
Project
Our friends at Obsidian Strategic and Planning Potential commissioned us on a major residential-led outline planning application for up to 1,100 new homes, a local retail/Class E unit, and associated community, education and green infrastructure. The 56-hectare greenfield site forms part of Basildon’s emerging Local Plan allocation (H1) and sits at the southern edge of Billericay. Green Tiger were appointed to lead all sustainability, energy and climate change workstreams forming part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
Services Green Tiger have undertaken:
Climate Change Chapter for Environmental Statement — Full preparation of the Climate Change EIA Chapter, assessing both:
– Mitigation: the scheme’s greenhouse gas emissions and whole-life carbon footprint; and
– Adaptation: the site’s resilience to future climate hazards (heat, flood, drought, storm events). This included quantitative Lifecycle Carbon Assessment, sensitivity testing against UK and local carbon budgets, and evaluation in accordance with IEMA guidance.
Energy & Sustainability Strategy — An outline energy strategy demonstrating how the site achieves a 77% reduction in CO₂ emissions over Part L 2021 baseline through:
– ‘Fabric-first’ design and low airtightness < 3 m³/m²h @ 50 Pa.
– Air-Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) for all dwellings and Solar PV
– Fully electric, fossil-fuel-free specification aligned with the Future Homes Standard.
Water and Resource Efficiency — Early-stage design achieving ≤ 104 L/person/day (Part G) and a Circular Economy & Waste Strategy targeting ≥ 77% construction waste diversion and lifecycle-carbon reduction via low-impact materials and off-site manufacture.
Climate Resilience and SuDS Integration — Coordination of the Sustainable Drainage Strategy incorporating attenuation basins, swales, permeable paving and green corridors to manage +45% rainfall intensity and support biodiversity net gain.
• Policy and Stakeholder Alignment — Ensured compliance with Local Policy, wider planning Unit guidance, and the national 1.5 °C trajectory target, supporting positive dialogue with Basildon Borough Council, Essex County Council and the EIA consultants.
