First stage of pilot scheme will see 18 homes built off-site
Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects has submitted planning for 18 Passivhaus-standard homes as the first part of a pilot of low-carbon building in the city.
The Cambridge Investment Partnership has submitted two separate applications for timber frame council homes for sites on Fen Road and Ditton Fields.
It is a joint venture between a Cambridge council and housebuilder Hill.
The Cambridge Investment Partnership said the offsite timber frame construction will provide the homes with thick, highly insulated walls allowing gas free heating.
The Fen Road site in East Chesterton, currently vacant, will provide 12 of the planned homes, with the remaining six at Ditton Fields. The schemes will include electric car charging points, secure cycle parking provision and tree planting.
