Newswire – HCA: An innovative affordable housing scheme that will provide future lessons for eco-development has started on site in Mansfield. 3 special eco-friendly houses are being built within an existing site at Blake Street. Owned by Nottingham Community Housing Association (NCHA), one of the houses will eventually be their first carbon-zero home.
The project has been supported by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Mansfield District Council (MDC). The 3 houses will be built to levels 4, 5 & 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH). Level 6 is the highest possible rating creating a zero-carbon home.
