WatersideView will include a range of special features to
extend, enhance and protect the water, ecology and wildlife
of the local area. By including significant new areas of
green space, we are looking to create a corridor linked to
surrounding wildlife habitats.
 Tree species and plants will
be chosen from native species known to thrive in the local
area. Three 'brown roofs' on the low rise buildings,
constructed of cleaned crushed hardcore or similar material,
interspaced with low mounds of planted grasses, will help
to encourage wildlife to thrive in the area.
Our current vision is for ...
- Bird
boxes on trees and buildings and nesting ledges
- ‘Eco’ roofs to provide a new habitat
for birds like the Black Redstart
New tree and other planting using native species
of known wildlife value
- Bat bricks and nesting boxes
- A tree lined boulevard along the Surrey Quays Road
- The preservation and enhancement of the existing
dockland artefacts
