British Recycled Plastic Solutions for House Builders: Low-Maintenance, Sustainable and Compliant

Hebden Grids for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) Compliant Parking

One of the biggest challenges in modern housing developments is managing stormwater and surface water runoff. With climate change increasing the frequency of heavy rain, planning officers across the UK are increasingly focusing on solutions that mitigate flood risks. Hebden grids from British Recycled Plastic offer a SuDS-compliant permeable paving solution that allows water to drain naturally through surfaces, reducing runoff and the risk of flooding.

These grids are ideal for use in driveways and car parks and are preferred by planning officers in many cases due to their functionality and low environmental impact when mitigating against flooding. Hebden grids provide an elegant, evenly laid, robust and long-lasting surface that requires little to no maintenance. Unlike traditional concrete or asphalt surfaces, which often require regular repairs due to cracking and deterioration, Hebden grids are built to last, saving developers and homeowners significant time and money over the long term. Additionally, the grids are made from 100% recycled plastic, contributing to the sustainability targets of the project.

By opting for permeable surfaces like Hebden grids, house builders not only ensure compliance with SuDS regulations but also create aesthetically pleasing, environmentally responsible developments that support long-term water management strategies.

Bollards for Safety and Delineation

Ensuring the safety of public spaces and managing traffic flow within residential areas is crucial. Recycled plastic bollards from British Recycled Plastic offer a durable, maintenance-free solution for delineating pedestrian areas, cycle lanes, and parking zones. These bollards are resistant to weather, impact, and vandalism, making them ideal for high-traffic areas in housing developments.

With bollards in place, house builders can enhance the safety and usability of roads, parking lots, and pedestrian walkways without the need for frequent replacements or repairs. Recycled plastic bollards require no painting or treatments, providing long-term cost savings while contributing to the overall aesthetic of the development.

Planters and Biodiversity Net Gain Compliance

As part of the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) rules in the UK, house builders must ensure that new developments contribute to local biodiversity. One way to achieve this is by incorporating pollinator-friendly plants into public spaces using recycled plastic planters. These planters provide an attractive and functional way to introduce greenery into urban environments, while also helping meet BNG requirements.

Recycled plastic planters are incredibly durable and low-maintenance, offering significant advantages over traditional materials. They do not rot, crack, or degrade, even in harsh weather conditions, ensuring they remain attractive and functional for many years. By filling planters with pollinator-friendly vegetation, house builders can support local wildlife, including bees and butterflies, and enhance the environmental value of their projects while hitting their BNG tagets.

Moreover, planters can be used strategically to improve the aesthetic appeal of communal areas, creating pleasant outdoor environments for residents and helping to raise the overall value of the development.

Benches for Public Spaces

Public seating is an essential part of any residential development, providing spaces for residents to relax and socialise. British Recycled Plastic’s range of benches are designed for durability, making them perfect for outdoor spaces such as parks, communal gardens, and playgrounds. Unlike traditional wooden benches, recycled plastic benches do not splinter, rot, or require regular maintenance, offering a long-term, cost-effective solution for house builders.

The maintenance-free nature of recycled plastic benches makes them particularly appealing for developers, as they won’t require frequent upkeep or replacement. This not only reduces costs but also ensures that public spaces remain inviting and functional for residents.

Fencing Solutions: Low-Maintenance and Aesthetically Pleasing

Fencing is a critical aspect of housing developments, whether it’s used for security, boundary definition, or to improve the visual appeal of a property. Recycled plastic fencing from British Recycled Plastic offers a maintenance-free alternative to traditional timber fencing. It’s weather-resistant, meaning it won’t warp, rot, or splinter, and it requires no treatments or staining, unlike wood.

This type of fencing is particularly suited to house builders looking to minimise long-term maintenance costs for their developments. Recycled plastic fencing is not only durable but also available in a variety of styles and colours, allowing developers to choose options that suit the aesthetic of their project. By incorporating these solutions into their projects, house builders can provide secure and attractive boundaries that require virtually no ongoing maintenance.
