Construction begins on energy-efficient homes in North Yorkshire

Lindum has started work on 58 new homes at Saxon Fields in Amotherby, North Yorkshire. The development, led by Yorkshire Housing, will provide affordable rent, social housing, and shared ownership options.

The project features houses and bungalows with two, three, and four bedrooms, constructed with timber frames. Each property will feature solar panels, air-source heat pumps, ground-floor underfloor heating, and electric vehicle charging points.

The inclusion of renewable energy systems and sustainable materials positions the site as one of the first gas-free housing developments in Yorkshire Housing’s portfolio. The initiative aligns with the organisation’s broader strategy to achieve net-zero emissions through the use of modern construction techniques and low-carbon technology.

The Saxon Fields project marks another step in the region’s move towards more sustainable, energy-efficient housing solutions that reduce environmental impact and operating costs for future residents.
