Greenhart Grove, Huntingdon

A ground breaking development of eco homes, developed in a partnership
of Circle Anglia, hill Partnerships and Huntingdon District Council. The scheme
provides 29, Code for sustainable homes 5 star rated, affordable houses as a
sustainability showcase. The project is constructed using timber and renders
to provide contemporary homes that have low embodied energy. The project
utilises passive design, MVHR, solar hot water and photo voltaic cells and a
sedum roof. We also hope the scheme will employ a green caretaker to
challenge behaviours, and encourage a low carbon lifestyle.

Councillor Ian Bates, Leader of Huntingdonshire District Council, said in the Eastern housing news: “We are confident that the development will be an example that others will follow. It sends a clear message that we are taking responsibility to tackle climate change seriously and are prepared to lead the transition to a ‘low carbon’ economy. We believe that Greenhart Grove provides a blueprint for sustainable living, as an affordable, inspiring place, in which people will be proud to live.”
