Protecting the environment
At Keigar Homes, our
proven management of the environment spans many years and affects everything we
do. Working closely alongside expert partners and environmental bodies with
every development is more than a legal necessity to us, it forms an essential
ingredient in the overall mix of care, duty and moral awareness we extend to our
customers and, naturally the local communities we join.
Our environmental
credentials

 |
Sympathy with the environment
Top priority is given to sympathetic landscaping, maintaining open space and natural features whenever possible. Modern day planning controls and regulations often force us to remove features we may otherwise have left. |
|
 |
Natural vegetation
With any site development there may be disruption of habitat or destruction of some vegetation. At Keigar Homes we try to keep this to the absolute minimum. We work with local residents and naturalists whenever necessary. In some cases we create nature reserves.
