These examples have been selected as good practice case studies to demonstrate the types of environmental enhancement that can be achieved with good partnership working and positive planning.
These enhancements include measures to adapt to climate change including reducing risk from flooding and sea level rises; providing good quality environments to improve people’s lives; and creating a healthy and diverse natural environment.
This is just a small selection of the type of major projects the Environment Agency has been working with councils and developers on. Collectively these sites will deliver an impressive list of environmental improvements.

Leading by example
In 2010, the Environment Agency will move to a new green head office building in Bristol (pictured under construction, right).
The building will be constructed to meet the Building Research Establishment's Environmental Appraisal Method (BREEAM) ‘excellent’ criteria, making it one of the greenest office buildings in the UK.
We have also announced proposals to generate its own renewable energy - enough to power a city the size of York - at our sites across England and Wales.
