Brownlow Road £6.5m Sustainable Housing Project in Mansfield

The £6.5 million Brownlow Road Sustainable Housing Project in Mansfield is a notable development featuring 64 eco-friendly properties, including bungalows, houses, and apartments. Completed for Mansfield District Council, this project is designed to support older residents with additional care needs and those requiring the District Council’s ASSIST services.

The development promotes a vibrant village-style community with its village green and communal hub, enhancing social interaction and providing a supportive living environment.

Scope of Work

Our team provided comprehensive services, including feasibility studies, budget costing, and detailed mechanical and electrical design. We produced a thermal model for the building to ensure optimal energy efficiency, created a BRUKL report and ensured compliance with Part L2 Building Regulations. Additionally, we integrated renewable energy solutions, such as photovoltaic panels and assisted with obtaining BREEAM certification.

Challenges and Solutions

Creating a sustainable community required careful planning and innovative design. EP Consulting tackled challenges by optimising the layout to promote accessibility and social interaction. We incorporated advanced renewable energy technologies, ensuring reduced energy consumption and minimal environmental impact, while addressing the specific needs of the older population.

This project not only meets the community's needs but also demonstrates EP Consulting’s commitment to sustainable, people-centric design, highlighting our role in creating forward-thinking residential solutions.
