One Brighton has a sustainable water consumption, estimated at 109 litres per resident per day, which is 4% above target and 27% less than the UK housing average. It provides a local and sustainable food source, with the rooftop allotments providing food for residents. There is a large on site food composter, making it easier for residents to recycle. There is no private car parking apart from disabled users, however sufficient bike parking. This shows their promotion of cycling as a sustainable transport method and their attempt to deter car use.
