One of Plymouth’s newest and best energy-efficient housing developments has been honoured at a prestigious regional award ceremony.
Broadland Gardens, built on the site of the former Morley Youth Centre in Plymstock, is a sustainable, new community of two, three and four bedroomed homes.
Heated with modern, energy-efficient technology, to help achieve low carbon living, particular attention has been paid to their design, so that they are adaptable and sustainable and mark the first direct delivery of new homes by the council this century.
These impressive credentials led to Broadland Gardens picking up the Residential Project of the Year (35 homes and under) honour at last week’s Michelmores Property Awards.
The Michelmores Property Awards celebrates the best property, development and construction projects in the South West, bringing together all those who contribute to the region’s exciting property, real estate and construction sectors.
It celebrates buildings, developments and projects based in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire and place quality and design, social, environmental, sustainable and economic values at the heart of its judging criteria.
Councillor Chris Penberthy, Cabinet Member for Housing, Communities and Cooperative Development, said: “I’m honoured that Broadland Gardens has been recognised in such a way – it really has been an incredible development.
“We were clear from the outset that we wanted these to be homes that are liveable, adaptable and sustainable. We have delivered on that vision.
“The direct delivery of these homes, with the surplus invested back into Plan for Homes 4 to support the delivery of affordable housing elsewhere in the city, has been a triumph.
“We have demonstrated that it is possible to create quality, well-designed homes in an urban environment and set a standard for the market.”
Broadland Gardens was funded through the Council’s Plan for Homes Investment Fund, designed by local architects Clifton Emery Design and built by Plymouth-based Classic Builders.
