Recycled Content WRAP 60% recycled content. Majority of materials to be sourced from 100 mile radius and low embodied content.
WRAP 40% recycled content. Majority of materials to be UK sourced low embodied content.
WRAP 30% recycled content. Refurbish Existing Buildings - Specify all materials from local sources whenever possible, consider life cycle costs.
WRAP 20% recycled content. State preference for locally sourced and higher recycled content materials and FCs certified timber.

Mains drinking water only and on site sewerage treatment
As best practice with additional leak detection. Rainwater for WCs.
Low Flush Wcs. PIR sensing, taps rainwater for irrigation.
Simple water saving measures such as dual flush and low flow appliances
Land Drainage System Full on site treatment and re-use, and attenuation including SUDS
Intergrate SUDS wirth wetland swales to provide 100% attenuation on site. Rainwater for re-use.
Sustainable Urban Draining Systems (SUDS) Soakaways with 100% attenuation and rainwater re-use.
