Nottinghamshire development leads the way in sustainability with national accreditation
Our Gedling Green development has been awarded a silver accreditation from The Next Generation Project Awards - a national rating system for the UK's most sustainable homebuilding projects.
Gedling Green, has been awarded the accreditation for its dedication to creating zero-carbon-ready homes, making it one of the first five housebuilders to receive this mark on a development.
The Gedling Green regeneration project has seen a multi-million pound investment from the housebuilder into transforming a former colliery yard to create a housing development boasting zero carbon-ready two, three and four-bedroom homes.
In 2023, the development became the first in the UK to offer homes built to the anticipated Future Homes Standard (FHS) for open market sale, with all of the homes featuring air source heat pumps, solar PV panels, increased levels of insulation, EV charging points and smart hot water cylinders.
To inform future legislation and understand resident behaviour changes to drive efficient sustainable technology, the housebuilder partnered with Birmingham City University to launch a pivotal pilot programme.
This programme will be used to reveal how homeowners interact with future-proofing technology, creating data to inform how residents power homes in years to come.
Adam Sharpe, Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat East Midlands, said: “We are delighted to announce that our flagship Gedling Green development has received the NextGeneration Silver accreditation.
“At Keepmoat, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability and we are pleased to receive this industry-recognised accreditation for Gedling Green.”
The Next Generation Project Awards were established to provide homebuilders with a practical tool to evaluate and improve the sustainability performance of specific projects through targeted criteria points.
John Bowden, Sustainability Director at Keepmoat, added: “Achieving this award highlights our dedication to sustainable practices but also represents an important element of housebuilding - it’s imperative to have clear standards that prioritise sustainability.”
