Wales largest Eco Housing developments gets thumbs up from Minister
The largest sustainable, new housing development in Wales has received the official seal of approval from WAG’s Deputy Housing Minister, Jocelyn Davies AM, when she recently visited the Newport site.
This groundbreaking development will see 101 new, affordable homes built on the City’s regenerated waterfront, which will be built to level five of the Code for Sustainable Housing (CSH). The development, named Mariner’s Quay, is located in the Old Town Dock area of Newport and will feature one and two bedroom apartments, and two, three and four bedroom houses.
An on-site energy centre, a biomass boiler, will burn woodchip fuel and produce much of the power required for the development and rainwater harvesting technology.
Constructed by Leadbitter Homes for the Seren Group, Mariner’s Quay is the result of a successful partnership with Newport Unlimited, Newport City Council and the Welsh Assembly Government to provide affordable, high quality, sustainable homes in the City.
