Case study: Parklands Grove, Ollerton
A development of seven homes full of green energy solutions and built to energy rating A. These new gas-free homes generate much of their own solar power, and the hot water and heating are supplied by air source heat pumps.
The wasteland had stood empty for year and backs onto Ollerton Pit Wood. To encourage nature to continue to thrive we incorporated hedgehog holes in fences and built in swift bricks and bat boxes into the external walls of the homes.
