The developer will use the 21-month term facility to deliver 33 green homes, the majority of which will qualify for the government’s Help to Buy scheme.

In addition, 10 dwellings will be classed as affordable and will be presold to a housing association.

On top of using sustainably certified timber and harvesting rainwater, each home will be fitted with air source heat pumps, low-energy pendant lighting or downlight to all rooms, integrated solar PV panels, passive windows and remote energy management systems.

The scheme is part of Castlemore Homes’ company strategy to have all its housing developments reach net zero carbon by 2025.
