The most environmentally-friendly homes in the region – and the first Council house project in Bradford for 30 years – were officially unveiled yesterday.
Twelve of the 45 properties at Pavilion Gardens, West Bowling, are the first in Yorkshire to reach the highest level of the Government’s Code for Sustainable Homes. Level six of the code means the homes produce zero carbon dioxide emissions.
They feature solar photovoltaic panels, a communal biomass boiler and high levels of insulation designed to make them carbon-neutral and reduce energy bills by an average of £500 a year.
The remaining 33 homes have been built to Level Four and are fitted with solar panels and harvest rainwater.
Bradford Council and the Homes and Communities Agency jointly funded the £5.6 million scheme, which was built by Lovell and is managed by housing organisation Yorkshire Housing.
