Lincoln-based Lindum Homes is to build an estate of two, three and four-bedroom ‘net zero’ properties off Station Road in Waddington Low Fields.
Each property will generate enough energy to offset the demand of its occupants, with each plot having Air Soured Heat Pumps. The development includes a system of solar panels on roofs.
The development will be called Heath View and will include 15 affordable homes, four of which will be available under the Government’s ‘First Homes’ scheme, which enables first-time buyers to purchase a home at 70% of its market value.
As part of wider plans for the site and in addition to the housing, developer LNT Group is working on plans for a 66-bed care home on the land, which could be built next year, subject to a separate planning approval.
Lindum Homes Director Mark Foster said: “We are excited to get started on site at Heath View, which will be one of the most environmentally friendly developments we’ve delivered.
“As well as the homes being carbon net zero once occupied, we will be implementing measures to increase biodiversity in the area, through the provision of landscaped open spaces, and through new planting off site.
“We are also really pleased to be delivering a number of First Homes, as this aligns with our desire to create sustainable communities and build schemes which truly meet the needs of the local area.”
Lindum Homes is part of the North Hykeham-based Lindum Group and specialises in delivering bespoke housing developments in and around the city of Lincoln.
The homes are designed by local architects, who focus on complementing the existing communities, and are delivered by local construction teams, including Lindum’s directly employed tradespeople, such as groundworkers, bricklayers and joiners.
