Construction sites that become gardens
Why hoardings matter
Green wall hoardings are becoming an increasingly common feature in urban environments.
By introducing moments of nature into the cityscape, vertical gardens offer an excellent way to brighten up areas of infrastructure that are often viewed as eyesores.
London’s planning guidance encourages the integration of green infrastructure into new developments, including the use of vertical gardens and other forms of urban greening.
Planning permission
We’ve achieved great success in helping planning permissions get approved by integrating green walls into signage, advertising boards, and construction hoarding.
Westminster Council’s code of practice in 2022 made it so that green walls on hoarding up for longer than 6 months were non-negotiable. This is a great step forward for brightening up communities and creating green stepping stones to increase biodiversity.
