New 2 bedroom 2 bathroom 5th floor apartment with open plan kitchen/living room plus private balcony, en-suite master bedroom, second double bedroom & main bathroom, in the Academy Central development.
Each home at this pioneering development achieves a ‘Code Level 3’ Sustainable Homes standard, which means these apartments and houses for sale in Barking will be at least 25% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2006 Building Regulations Standards.
The development’s eco-friendly credentials include an on-site biomass Combined Heat and Power energy centre, which will supply the development’s centralised district heating and hot water system.
Complementing this sustainable energy supply, are ‘green roofs’ to selected homes to improve air-quality, provide natural insulation and promote biodiversity. Properties also benefit from airtight insulation to help reduce energy bills even further.
Reducing water consumption is another feature of the development, with water butts in the gardens of all the houses, while all homes have dual flush toilets.
Local and sustainable building materials have been used where possible and some existing features from the site have been incorporated into the development design, rather than using new materials – including the 1936 clock tower building, which is being renovated as apartments, and the former university boundary walls and entrances.
Meanwhile, Taylor Wimpey has worked with the local authority on a Green Travel Plan which will expand bus services and provide new ‘Green Links’ paths and cycle ways to help reduce car usage, while ‘car club’ spaces within the development’s parking layout will encourage journey sharing.
