UK Passivhaus Housing in Herefordshire – 24 Apr 2013
Architype has submitted a planning application for the UK’s largest Passivhaus housing scheme for a rural site, near to our Herefordshire office. The project is the first stage in realising an ambitious vision to transform both the quality and the sustainability of developer housing in the UK. Whilst there is a presumption in favour of sustainable development under the NPPF, much proposed new housing is not actually ‘sustainable’. Whilst developers appear to be able to sell what they build, the RIBA Future Homes Commission found that 70% of people say they would not buy a new house due to the poor quality of design.
