New Purpose Built ‘eco Community’ Being Developed in Cornwall
Cornwall’s first tailor-built “eco community” – described as an experiment in cutting-edge green and economical living and a potential model for the nation to follow – is coming to life in Hayle. The £3 million first phase of 12 houses is nearing completion in the Fairglen project, which is targeting near-zero energy bills for its occupants and is believed to be one of Britain’s largest sustainable new communities currently under construction.
Its creators, Redruth-based Percy Williams and Sons Ltd, first conceived the £7.5 million scheme nearly a decade ago and have been working closely with the Government’s Low Carbon Buildings Programme.
