We successfully supported Homes England in their delivery of more than 250 Zero Carbon Homes in Peterborough. Our role was to advise the developers on the masterplanning of the contaminated former railway sidings and in doing so secure planning permission. Using the Code for Sustainable Homes the layout, design and specifications of the homes was iteratively adapted to meet ‘value for money’ challenges whist adhering to the Code and HE requirements.
Our role included undertaking the Code assessment. This process has been used subsequently by HE to guide their commissioning and partnering with private sector and housing association schemes. All homes are constructed and occupied.
