A house builder has been chosen to build a development of 38 family homes to Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 in The Meadows, Nottingham.

Lovell has been chosen by developer Blueprint to build the series of three storey homes, designed by Marsh Grochowski architects. The homes will use a super-insulated timber frame system, which will be FSC certified, with natural ventilation and heat stacking.

Homes and Communities Agency East Midlands regional director Margaret Allen said: “We are pleased to support this scheme, which boasts cutting-edge design and will achieve a Building for Life Gold standard as well as Code for Sustainable Homes level 4. The project matches the wider regeneration priorities of the city council, and fits the HCA’s remit to create thriving communities and promote great design and quality standards.”

Construction is expected to be completed by spring 2011.
