The development team’s vision includes a commitment to strong ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles. We plan to implement several initiatives to remain in step with, and where possible, exceed regulations.

These include:

  1. All electric houses and apartments ahead of the Homes for 2025 deadline.
  2. Renovated homes will be retrofitted with energy-efficient appliances and effective insulation to reduce residents’ bills and emissions.
  3. Solar panels will be employed wherever appropriate to supplement existing energy sources with renewable power.
  4. An agreement has been signed to explore the feasibility of a renewable energy micro-grid for residents and workers.
  5. A sustainable transport plan to ensure residents and visitors have eco-friendly travel options to and from the Daedalus site, with initiatives such as a car club to minimise the impact on neighbouring communities.
  6. Encouraging electric vehicles through the widespread adoption of EV charging points.
  7. Cycle friendly streets, cycling vouchers and facilities and safe storage for bikes.
  8. Rejuvenation and creation of green areas, with hundreds of new native trees to be planted, encouraging wildlife and biodiversity.
  9. Target BREEAM Excellent for industrial buildings, which is above local planning requirements.
