| Residents in Harlaxton, near Grantham, are putting their ‘green’ heating system to the test over the winter months. Larkfleet Group has designed and built 29 new homes at The Drift, Harlaxton for Muir Group, with some of the funding for the homes being provided by the government’s Housing Corporation. The homes are all fitted with air source heat pumps – a heating system which operates like a refrigerator running in reverse, taking heat from the surrounding air to heat the home. It is designed to provide low cost and environmentally-friendly heating and hot water in this way even on cold winter days when the outside air temperature is low. The homes are also built with high standards of insulation and other features to reduce their ‘carbon footprint’. The development comprises a range of two and three bedroom houses and bungalows which are being reserved exclusively for local people with a direct connection to the village. Some of the homes are being made available for low-cost renting and some are being offered for ‘shared ownership’, allowing a family to buy part of the home and rent the rest from the housing association as a way of ‘getting a foot on the housing ladder’. David Robinson, development director at Muir Group Housing Association, said: “Muir Group is delighted to be working in partnership with Larkfleet to develop homes that meet the highest environmental standards. “Muir is committed to apply ‘green’ technology where possible and we hope that future schemes will have similar technology for heating.” |
