An eco home based on a design by a 10-year-old schoolgirl is to be built in Redditch as part of the largest Norwegian timber frame housing development in the UK.
Redditch Co-operative Homes, part of the Accord Group of housing associations, will build 58 houses and 21 apartments in the Church Hill area. The whole development will be built using timber panels imported from Norway. Each of the 79 homes, which will be built by Mansell, will meet tough environmental standards and codes, including two homes that will be built to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6 - the highest environmental standard that can be achieved in the UK.
