Many thanks to Josh Butler at the Architects Journal for featuring news of Knutsford. Tate + Co has submitted plans for the low-carbon neighbourhood in Cheshire, part of The Crown Estate‘s ‘housing transformation’ programme. Once complete, the pioneering residential development will create 75 homes.
Knutsford is the culmination of a special partnership between igloo Regeneration and The Crown Estate and is one of several groundbreaking developments that will deliver a total of around 200 homes across Bedfordshire, Cheshire and Hertfordshire. These new developments will create inclusive communities and deliver much needed housing.
These demonstration projects are targeting ambitious embodied carbon levels of less than 300kg CO₂/m² and operational energy use at 35kWh/m²/year. The developments aim for a minimum 15% biodiversity net gain, on-site renewable energy generation and alignment with the Passivhaus standard, promoting healthy and energy-efficient living.
