A wildlife friendly community
Nansledan has been thoughtfully designed to provide homes for people and a sanctuary for wildlife.
Extensive measures ensure that local habitats are protected, enhanced, and extended, allowing nature to thrive alongside the growing community. The inclusion of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS), carefully maintained green spaces, and wildlife corridors are just a few examples of how the development is built with ecological sensitivity in mind.
Key features include bird and bat boxes integrated into homes, hedgehog tunnels providing safe passage between gardens, and bee bricks placed in sunny locations to encourage pollinators.
Native planting and wildflower meadows are used extensively throughout the site, supporting pollinators and creating vibrant spaces for residents and wildlife alike.
At Morrish Homes, we recognise the importance of creating spaces that nurture both residents and the natural world. Our development at Nansledan reflects this commitment, with a holistic approach to biodiversity and sustainability embedded in every stage of planning and construction.
Sustainability at the core
As part of the Duchy of Cornwall’s ambitious vision, Nansledan is an exemplar of sustainable development. The integration of green infrastructure ensures that every element of the development works cohesively to create a harmonious and ecologically rich environment. Features such as allotments, community orchards, and wildflower planting reflect the commitment to sustainable living, encouraging local food production and enhancing biodiversity.
The green infrastructure strategy also includes the creation of wetland habitats along the Chapel Stream valley, providing valuable spaces for recreation and wildlife. Seasonal conservation grazing will help manage these areas, fostering a connection between the community and Cornwall’s agricultural heritage.
By blending traditional craftsmanship with modern sustainable practices, Nansledan sets a benchmark for developments that honour the environment while creating vibrant, thriving communities.
