Prioritising sustainability the Eastleigh council way

Eastleigh BC is investing in sustainable energy and leading on sustainable development at One Horton Heath. The council stepped in to put public good over profit, says Sarah King.

Eastleigh BC is leading by example on sustainable development by undertaking an exciting and ambitious programme of green energy projects to create a sustainable, fossil free development at its flagship 310-acre development, One Horton Heath.

It is different from other developments – as both landowner and developer, the council is ensuring new homes are delivered alongside the provision of the right infrastructure which will include roads, a school, local centre and open spaces and can focus on the creation of a sustainable place to live.
