One three-bedroom wheelchair-accessible house and seven two-bedroom houses, with eight on-site parking spaces and one disabled parking bay

- Our new homes are now complete!
- How can residents have their say on our plans?
-
We held a consultation meeting and online survey in October 2019, and amended our plans in response to resident feedback. Our designs were then submitted for planning approval, with residents able to give further feedback, and these designs were approved.

The following technologies have been incorporated into the design of our new homes to maximise sustainability and minimise environmental impact:
- Zero carbon homes
- Constructed using SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels), which can be extremely air tight with systems having air leakage rates of 0.08 air changes per hour, far below the required minimum of 0.5 changes per hour
- The SIP panel system is highly sustainable, being Timber PEFC certified.
- Photovoltaic (solar) panels for both the flat and pitched roofs in order to maximise energy production
- The masonry building and high ceilings (2.5m) will allow for heat management within the building
- Green roofs will be implemented on all of the flat roofed houses in order to reduce the heat island effect and significantly improve biodiversity and drainage/run-off
