It intends to build 40 flats and nine houses in Prospect Place, on the corner of British Row, Timbrell Street and Islington. The homes will include measures to combat climate change such as solar panels for heating hot water, rain water butts, home composters, recycling facilities and cycle storage space. Society spokesman Rebecca O"Neil said: 'It"s important to us to minimise the impact on the environment. We are also committed to reducing costs for our tenants who can"t always afford some of the eco-friendly products. 'We"ve not used solar panels before so we"re quite excited about that. You don"t see many around here.' The new homes have also been designed to fit in with the surrounding environment, and are influenced by the architecture of buildings in the surrounding area.
