Story Homes is committed to delivering greener communities which thrive. We take on board both the needs and the requests of local people to deliver developments that can be enjoyed by all and add to the local area rather than taking away from it.
Biodiversity Net Gain is a way of creating and improving natural habitats. At Story Homes we are committed to maintaining the favourable conservation status of protected species and to maintaining and enhancing the biodiversity value of the areas in which we build.
Many of our developments include bat and bird boxes, wildlife corridors and grassland, and hedge and watercourse creation/enhancement. We also incorporate sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) into our development open spaces to help encourage local habitats for wildlife.

At Story Homes we believe in the power of community and giving back, supporting local charities and organisations where possible. This includes sponsorship of local sports clubs, community events and initiatives.
As a responsible builder, we value the views opinions of the local residents living in the areas close to our developments.
Prior to our planning applications being submitted to local councils, we invite those already living in the community to provide their feedback and suggestions on the proposals to help us shape the future development.
