WW Martin achieves national 'Green Plaque' environmental accreditation
We are delighted to announce that our innovative affordable housing scheme delivered in partnership with Orbit Homes has been awarded the national 'Green Plaque' environmental accreditation.
The 55 new homes in Melbourne Avenue, Ramsgate are the first new build homes to receive the accolade. All homes are built to demanding sustainability standards that will help provide for residents’ needs today and into the future.
On completing their detailed assessment of the project, the independent assessors highlighted the works as exemplar, with the overall approach demonstrating environmental and sustainability best practice within the construction industry.
Peter Batt, of the Green Plaque said:
“It’s not often that we get to hear of, let alone celebrate the outstanding work that some of our developers and housebuilders are doing to minimise their schemes’ environmental footprint. That’s why we’ve launched the Green Plaque, and WW Martin deserves credit for the thought and commitment they have put into this scheme.
“We want to highlight more developments like this because they light the path that others must follow, especially if we are to rise to the environmental challenges we face.”
David Barker, director of WW Martin said:
“To receive independent certification that recognises our approach to delivering highly sustainable new homes in partnership with Orbit Homes is testament to the hard work of everyone involved.
We are very much committed to best practice and are delighted that the sustainability initiatives and work undertaken on this project have resulted in a national environmental accreditation award.”
