Proposed Greenwich Gateway Development

This development site is beside the Laban Dance Centre in Deptford. At the time of writing [November 2002] it had not received planning permission but is a development by Roseberry Homes designed by Broadway Malyan.

The combination of ‘wild’ brown roofs and green roofs, which will be provided for aesthetics is likely to become an increasing design feature of roofs where black redstarts are found. The need for brown roofs and planted aggregate roofs fulfil multiple functions: sustainability, biodiversity and in places aesthetic landscapes.
