A series of Flag UK green roofs have been incorporated into a nine apartment development in Tavistock. They are said to be making a positive contribution to the environment in an area of outstanding natural beauty as well as providing an efficient drainage. The developer's decision to use a green roof system was welcomed by local planners as the area of garden taken away by the development footprint matched the area of the roof. In an area of the country where rainfall can be sudden and intense the green roof will reduce water run-off by as much as 60% says the company. The system contains a single ply membrane, which was primed with a vapour barrier and 95mm of insulation.
