Work on new energy efficient, affordable homes in a Yorkshire village has got underway.<\/p>\n
Housing developer Adderstone Living is building 20 homes in the village of Swinton, north of Malton.<\/p>\n
The mix of one, two, three and four-bed houses and bungalows are under construction for northern housing association Karbon Homes.<\/p>\n
The homes, which will be available for a mix of tenures, including affordable rent, shared ownership and rent to buy, are the first where Karbon has included communal solar power battery storage for all the properties.<\/p>\n
When completed in summer 2026, all the properties will be linked to the system, enabling residents to store any surplus energy generated by the solar PV panels on the roof.<\/p>\n
Zoey Hawthorne, assistant director of development delivery for Karbon Homes, said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see work getting underway on this rural flagship scheme for us, the first where all our homes will benefit from battery storage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the cost of living is high, providing homes that are not only affordable for residents in terms of rent, but utilise technologies that have the potential to help customers save on their utility bills, has never been more important.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope these new homes, designed to meet the\u00a0needs of residents wanting to move to, or stay living in the village, will play a role in helping the community thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside benefitting from the battery storage, all the homes aim to achieve an Energy<\/p>\n
Performance Certificate rating A and will also boast enhanced energy efficiency measures, including air source heat pumps and EV charging points.<\/p>\n
Stephen McCoy, managing director of Adderstone Living, said: \u201cWhen complete, this groundbreaking scheme will be an asset to the village and wider community. Beyond bricks and mortar, we\u2019re also delivering broader community benefits as part of the development.<\/p>\n
\u201cSocial housing is rightly back in the spotlight, with a growing recognition of its vital role in building resilient communities. We\u2019re pleased to be playing our part in this renewed focus delivering high quality, innovative homes that balance affordability, sustainability and long-term value.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
