Our Green Homes

We have planning permission!

January 30, 2019 By Rachel Leave a Comment

At last, after over a year of to-ing and fro-ing about noise levels, facing colours, turning circles for bin lorries and the rest, we’ve got there!

The planning committee met yesterday and unanimously approved the application, showing the huge support there is for sustainable housing. Thank-you Sheffield councillors for your forward thinking views! And huge thanks to our architect Paul Testa and the rest of the team for rising to the challenge. This is the first of what we hope will be many small scale Passivhaus projects for ‘ordinary’ people.

As Andy says, ‘This is the end of the beginning’! Now we can really get started. Expect to start hearing a lot more from us as we get going on the real business of building homes!


I can feel the houses starting to grow on site already!

A recent survey from Eurocell revealed 49% of respondents would be more likely to buy or rent an eco-conscious home. However, despite this interest, only 24% said they would be willing to pay more money when buying or renting a property with eco-features. Good that we're trying to embrace the idea of an eco home costing around the same as comparable houses in the area then! http://ow.ly/nYF030nlxMC ... See MoreSee Less
