Viewed across High Street. Developed by energy company SSE plc (formerly Scottish and Southern Energy plc), the zero-carbon housing is compliant with Code 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, the highest possible standard. The development is a mixture of two and three bedroom family houses and one bedroom flats. Features include rainwater harvesting, grey water recycling, triple-glazed windows and enhanced insulation. The dwellings receive their electrical power from solar PV tiles which cover the entire roof. Heating and hot water is supplied from an innovative low temperature, low heat loss, district heating system powered by four types of renewable sources: ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps, solar thermal technology and a biomass boiler.
