Milton Keynes Council has approved plans to build more than 60 new council homes which will be among the greenest homes in the city.
These houses will be built in Netherfield at The Cripps Lodge site, formerly a council-run centre.
It will see a mix of new homes including bungalows and wheelchair-friendly properties for elderly and vulnerable residents.
Cripps Lodge will use green technology including solar panels, air-source pumps, and the highest standards of insulation to help keep energy costs down for residents.
Cllr Emily Darlington, Cabinet member responsible for council housing, said: “We are delivering on our commitment to build these much needed council homes for MK families.
"We’re working hard to ensure that we don’t let sites sit empty as we progress with our green council housebuilding programme. My thanks go out to everyone involved, including Woughton Community Council for their work during the consultation.”
Milton Keynes Council has set out its most ambitious and greenest council house building plan for a generation. It has plans to deliver 1,200 council homes by 2030, making them some of the city’s most accessible and environmentally friendly homes.
Work to build the net-zero carbon homes is expected to begin later this year.
