First eco village to be built in UK
The UK’s largest house builder have been given the contract to build the UK’s first eco village, the site which is a former hospital, Hanham Hall near Bristol has been specially commissioned through the governments national regeneration agency.
The eco village is expected to be ready in around three years time, which is way ahead of the green target, set by the government to have all new homes designed and constructed to be zero carbon. There will be a biomass power plant which will provide power and heat for the 200 homes, and be able to recycle rainwater with sustainable drainage.
