This project will provide eight new zero carbon homes at a former car park/garage site on Edith Road, Bounds Green. The proposal is on behalf of Haringey Council, who will provide 100 per cent affordable homes for rent at the proposed site, delivering true zero carbon homes with all energy produced at the proposed site, a first for Haringey.

The Edith Road scheme represents a collaboration between a local authority, architect and sustainability consultancy to deliver zero carbon affordable homes on small infill sites in urban locations. The scheme has also been thoroughly tested to reduce overheating risk both now and in the future, improving resilience. The rollout of this model across London has the potential to meet housing need, improve access to housing and reduce climate impacts.

With the use of heat pumps and rooftop solar PV panels the new homes will have a 100 per cent reduction in regulated carbon dioxide emissions. A thorough monitoring of the overheating has assessed the risk and provided for mitigation approach for current weather conditions and predicted climate change.
