Earthship Homes Planning Application Submitted in Brighton
Following on from the work on the Earthship Homes Feasibility study, Biotecture
has now finalised plans for a planning application to Brighton and Hove City
Council to build on a prime development site overlooking Brighton Marina.
The application has been carefully prepared and consulted on and is for 16, one
two and three bedroomed Earthship homes on the seafront site. It will be the first
development of its kind in Europe.
The homes are based on the core biotecture principles and are designed to be
free of utility bills and ultra low on carbon emissions by heating and cooling
themselves, providing their own wind and solar power, harvesting rainwater for
domestic use, and containing and treating their own waste.
15,000 tyres would be recycled to construct the homes, at a
time when the UK is planning to burn some 40 million tyres
each year at great environmental cost.
6 of the homes would be available through a housing association as affordable
units. There has been a lot of interest from people already in the know about
Earthships and the market research during the feasibility study showed that there
is serious interest in buying into a development of this nature.
Plans include the enhancement of habitats on the site for the Lizards that already
live there. Like Earthships, depending for their function on using the suns energy
for warmth.
A successful development in Brighton could pave the way for dozens of
Earthship Homes projects around the UK. It's a very powerful, iconic building
concept that has the potential to revolutionise the way we live.
The Earthship planning application follows the successful six month feasibility
study funded by the Environment Agency and the Energy Savings Trust.
Biotecture carried out the study in partnership with Brighton and Hove City
Council and the Chichester Diocese Housing Association as well as architects
and surveyors. The partnership found no barriers to small scale residential
Earthship colonies in the UK and earmarked the Brighton Marina site as
potentially suitable for such a development.
Biotecture's proposals for The Lizard where unveiled at the Ecobuild 2006
sustainable building exhibition in February.
