SPONSORS
"Argent St George is a joint venture between two of the UK's leading developers - Argent Group plc and St George plc. Argent St George are the developers taking forward the redevelopment of 72-acres of brownfield land at King's Cross Central, one of the most exciting and challenging regeneration opportunities within London, the UK and Europe. Argent St George are delighted to help sponsor this research, to provide better guidance and advice about how some of the perceived conflicts between development and nature conservation might be overcome."
"The [Mast Quay] scheme is a good example of an effective partnership being established between the nature conservation lobby and the developer where the importance of incorporating ecological mitigation works was recognised from the outset, particularly as the site is in an area that is a traditional stronghold for the black redstart.
In addition to working closely with ecologists to provide mitigation for black redstarts, the architects also dealt with in the design other brownfield biodiversity issues."
