Homebuyers can now visit the sales cabin to find out more about the collection of Eco Electric homes which are now available to reserve. The mix of three, four and five bedroom homes are perfect for those who are looking for a home with ample space and all the perks of energy-efficient living. Residents can also benefit from the vibrant local area, excellent selection of schools and variety of attractions within easy driving distance.
As part of the launch, we have announced a commitment of £1.2 million to Dorset Council. These funds, part of the our 106 contributions, will be used towards local services and to support Royal Oaks residents and the wider community. A significant portion of our financial commitment will go towards affordable housing and public open spaces. They will also contribute towards education, health and transport infrastructure.
The first phase at Royal Oaks consists of 32 Eco Electric homes all fitted with underfloor heating across the ground floor and air source heat pumps as standard. Air source heat pumps are more efficient than gas boilers, as heat pumps capture heat that is already present in the environment and the system itself does not burn any fuel, therefore no carbon dioxide is emitted. The underfloor heating to the ground floor means that the large open plan spaces found in the homes can be efficiently heated, without the need for radiators. The average UK home has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D while our Eco Electric homes have a rating of B or higher.
