Parkside regeneration
The concept of replacing some of the properties in the Parkside area of New Haw has been discussed in the past. The Council is now undertaking a major project to explore all the options that a regeneration could bring to the area.
We are committed to sustainability and the environmental impact these homes will have. All new homes will be highly energy efficient. They will be highly insulated and be designed in a way that means that they do not require much energy to make them a comfortable temperature.
We will explore the use of a ground source heat pump, which might be able to warm the new homes. Other options such as air source heat pumps or other technology will be considered.
Residents will be encouraged to walk or cycle, and we will design excellent routes through the regeneration area to facilitate this. Bicycle stores would also ensure residents are able to avoid car use.
A significant proportion of the regeneration area is in a high probability flood zone (as categorised by the Environment Agency). There is also a Biodiversity Opportunity Area over much of the site (the same area as the flood zone). Mitigating against flood risk whilst also protecting the Biodiversity Opportunity Area will be a key challenge of the regeneration project.
