The Site

Berkeley are transforming a disregarded brownfield site into a new destination with nature at its heart. This 88-acre development will be a place rich in flora and fauna and when complete, will become one of the most biodiverse developments in the UK.

Working in conjunction with London Wildlife Trust, The Green Quarter will provide:

• Two brand new parks - Central Gardens and The Wetlands, providing over 13 acres of new parkland for all to enjoy.

• Over 1km of reinstated tow path along the Grand Union Canal.

• A new footbridge linking to the adjacent 90-acre Minet Country Park - which Berkeley are investing £1.8m in.

• At least 2,500 trees being planted across the development.

• A multitude of habitats from grassland, woodland, ponds to a wetlands.

• Habitats for London priority species including bats, butterflies, finches, thrushes and raptors.

• Green roofs across the development.

• Over 17 acres of Podium Gardens.

• The Wetlands will have 6,000m3 of water with varying depths creating a mosaic of aquatic habitat, marginal planting, reed bed, marsh and flower rich grassland.
