Construction News Image
Modular housing firm ilke Homes is seeking planning permission to deliver 150 energy efficient homes in Rushden, Northamptonshire.

The company has secured a site allocated for residential development that has the potential to deliver up to 150 affordable homes for the community.

The deal, brokered by Ann Taylor at Savills' Nottingham office, has seen ilke Homes secure a 9-acre site. The firm will work closely with East Northamptonshire Council, Rushden Town Council, and the local community to secureplanning permission which adheres to principles set out in the adopted Neighbourhood Plan.

The Neighbourhood Plan was prepared by Rushden Town Council in order to put in place a locally derived development framework which sets out visions and policies to manage and focus on growth opportunities within the town. The Neighbourhood Plan was officially adopted in 2018, covering a plan period up until 2031.

By manufacturing homes offsite, ilke Homes is able to achieve huge carbon savings, both during construction and once homes are operational. By taking the majority of the build stage offsite, the company is able to significantly reduce vehicular movements to site, both helping to reduce carbon emissions and disruption to the local communities.

Precision-engineering techniques also mean that if granted full planning permission, the homes in Rushden will be some of the most energy-efficient in the country. ilke Homes is able to manufacture its homes to consistently achieve at least a 'B' Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, with the majority achieving an 'A' – making them more energy-efficient than 92 percent of the UK's housing stock.
