Hill Group and Bioregional Homes form JV to deliver zero carbon and affordable homes

Hill Group has formed a joint venture partnership with Bioregional Homes to build zero-carbon, affordable homes that are for sale to local people.

The partnership will embrace Bioregional Homes’ One Planet Living® principles – building homes that are zero carbon, from sustainable materials using modern methods of construction in developments where recycling, food growing and biodiversity are encouraged – helping local communities to flourish.

The developments will comprise a mix of market-sale housing and discounted market sale homes, so local people can afford to buy somewhere to live in their area. The JV will aim to widen access to home ownership by ensuring that reduced house prices are protected permanently through community governance structures.

Bioregional Homes is a subsidiary of sustainability charity and social enterprise Bioregional and was set up in 2018 to create genuinely affordable, zero-carbon homes that enable sustainable lifestyles.

Sue Riddlestone, Chief Executive, Bioregional Homes, said: “We are delighted to be working with Hill and have been very impressed with their ethos, aspirations and strong capability as house builders. Together with Hill, we want to show that beautiful, affordable, net zero carbon development can be done.
