Angmering councillors visit energy efficient homes at Fairway Gardens
Councillors from Angmering Parish Council and Arun District Council were recently welcomed to an exhibition at Fairway Gardens in Angmering, as part of housebuilder David Wilson Homes’ ongoing energy efficiency campaign.
As the campaign aims to educate the local community on energy usage in new homes, the display highlighted how much water consumption is saved in a new build each week, and educational signage to bring to life features of the homes at the development.
Hosted in one of the recently completed homes at Fairway Gardens, the visit saw the Vice Chair of Angmering Parish, Alan Evans, Chair of Planning and Infrastructure Committee, Sylvia Verrinder and Chair of Arun District Council Freddie Tandy, learn about the features installed in the homes and how they help improve efficiency and benefit the local environment.
David Wilson Homes use highly thermally efficient insulation and argon-filled double-glazing as standard, which allows the heat from the sun in, whilst minimising heat loss, making its homes 65% more energy efficient than an older home .
Freddie Tandy, Chair of Arun District Council, commented: “Building communities in Angmering that can positively impact homeowners is really important, so it was fantastic to see how Fairway Gardens’ energy saving features benefit both buyers and the environment. The display was an insightful opportunity for the councillors to see how energy is preserved in new homes and to understand how residents can save on their household bills.”
Mark Vanson, Sales and Marketing Director at Barratt David Wilson Southern Counties, commented: “As we highlight the importance of energy efficiency in our homes in Angmering, it was a pleasure to welcome local councillors to Fairway Gardens to see firsthand the difference they make to the community. David Wilson Homes is committed to building warm and efficient homes for its residents as we work towards a greener future.”
