“Our Urban Water Technology Centre [UWTC] of Abertay University includes leading experts in the design, operation and maintenance of SUDS and is at the forefront of research and practice in this field. Through the introduction of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership initiative with Greenbelt, and the employment of a SUDS Research Associate at Greenbelt, the team will work to transfer their expertise in this area into practical methodologies and procedures for the successful long- term operation and maintenance of SUDS Components.”
Professor Chris Jefferies - Abertay University
“The Residents’ Association, working closely with Greenbelt as our neighbours, is fully committed to working to establish the best (not just one of the best) housing developments and communities in the
UK. What makes this possible is the similar commitment that Greenbelt also has to achieving this goal.”
Gus McVey - Chairman of Clover Law RA
“... the ‘Friends of Springfield Mill Park Group’ working in partnership with Greenbelt, has transformed this particular park in a relatively short space of time from almost a ‘no-go’ area into an exemplar site of which we can all be proud... The key here is working together in partnership. Building sustainable communities is one of those oft-quoted phrases but I am happy to say that this can be meaningfully applied in my experience to Greenbelt.”
Councillor Stewart McArdle - Morley North Ward, Leeds City Council
“Greenbelt provides the development industry with an effective and reliable alternative to traditional adoption arrangements allowing the developer to transfer long-term management of all types of open space including SUDS on new developments. Their mechanisms are flexible and can assist in meeting planning compliance conditions, but also reflect a company which understands the needs of the development industry. Indeed Greenbelt’s assistance during the planning process and subsequent Section 106 negotiations at our Red Lodge development in Suffolk has helped the delivery of the
planning consent on a site where ecological issues and long-term habitat management were important.”
