The Affinity Sutton Group is a responsible developer dedicated to the creation of greener homes and sustainable communities, the protection of the environment and the conservation of energy.
the compass|SO14 is being developed to a new Government standard, the Code for Sustainable Homes and will achieve a level 3 rating. The Code sets out demanding levels for the environmental performance of new homes in a number of different areas such as energy and water use, surface water management, site waste management, household waste management and the use of materials.
Independent assessments indicate that Level 3 should deliver a minimum of 25% energy savings versus homes built to current Building Regulation requirements. This will be achieved by offering a variety of energy efficient solutions, including improved insulation, low energy lighting, water saving spray taps and low dual flush WCs.
The development will feature a Home Zone traffic management system which gives priority to pedestrians and cyclists. There is also a cycle path that links the development with neighbouring parts of the city.
All of these measures will make your home more efficient to run, meaning lower energy bills for you, whilst being kinder on the environment.
