NATIONWIDE is funding a £50 million plan to build one of the UK’s largest energy-efficient housing developments. Each of the 239 homes at the Oakfield project will meet the highest EPC-A energy efficiency rating. At the moment, only six per cent of new properties are built to this standard. The Swindon-based building society s landmark development could become a blueprint for the construction of more environmentally-friendly homes around the country. The company is bringing together green developers and experts like Igloo Regeneration and the Active Building Centre to advise on the plans. The properties come with air source heat pumps instead of gas boilers, as well as solar panels. Electric vehicle charging points will be provided on the street and homes will be wired so that the owners can easily install charging points on their own properties.
