2 Background Derwenthorpe is a new Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust development of attractive, affordable, eco-friendly family homes in a digitally inclusive, mixed-tenure community. 'Green' heating and hot water system Derwenthorpe was one of the first large-scale low carbon communities in northern England, meeting demanding targets for reduced energy and water usage. Its green heating and hot water system is at the heart of the development. The community uses a district heating system, which means that instead of homes having their own boilers, heating and hot water is efficiently distributed to all homes by the predominantly biomass boilers in the village s centrally located Energy Centre. The woodchip used in the biomass boilers burns with extremely low pollution effects on the environment (compared to traditional sources like coal and oil) and is sourced locally through both harvesting trees grown specifically for this purpose and recycling forestry thinnings. The Energy Centre generates hot water, which is distributed to homes through underground pipes and then passes through a Consumer Interface Unit to generate hot water for radiators, washing and bathing. Properties Derwenthorpe will eventually offer 489 high-quality environmentally friendly and energy efficient homes which have been expertly designed to be as innovative as they are practical. Careful designs mean this scheme will offer homes to suit the needs of all kinds of buyers, plugging the gaps in the current market with exciting and importantly environmentally conscious 'homes of the future'. All pictures for illustration purposes only The Seebohm Quarter is located off Fifth Avenue and takes its name from Benjamin Seebohm, second of the four sons of Joseph Rowntree. It comprises of a variety of two, three, four and five bedroom flats and houses available to rent and part-buy through JRHT or to out right purchase through David Wilson Homes. Each home has been designed with eco-friendly features including communal biomass boiler heating and a drainage system that prevents flooding. All of the apartments have an open plan living/kitchen/dining area and an outside space whether that be a patio, balcony or winter garden.
