24 May 2011
The Demonstration House, built and sponsored by Cassadian Homes (Bicester) Ltd in conjunction with P3Eco, will be formally opened Wednesday 25 May 2011, by local MP for North Oxfordshire, Tony Baldry.
This exciting new property is not a show house, but a building that show-cases the very latest in green technologies. Members of the public will be able to visit the building and learn how a greener home can save money and help the environment. Staff supporting the Eco Bicester project from Cherwell District Council and P3Estates will be based in the house. They will be available to help the public understand the eco features of the Demonstrator Building and explain its role in the wider Eco Bicester project.
The building will be open to the public from Tuesday 31 May, opening daily between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday and is situated in the grounds of Garth Park, Launton Road, Bicester. It is anticipated that opening hours will be extended to weekends and evenings in the future, allowing as many people as possible to visit this unique building.
“The opening of the Demonstration Building marks an important point in the Bicester Eco Project,” said Tony Baldry, MP. “In using a combination of green features and technologies something different and genuinely revolutionary and evolutionary in character and design has been created. The completion of the building has really set the Bicester Eco Town project on its way to becoming a national and indeed international exemplar of how to build low carbon sustainable housing.”
The Building contains some of the following green features and technologies:
Ian Inshaw, Chairman of P3Eco, Bicester, said: “The completion of the Demonstrator Building is the first major step in creating a new Eco Bicester. We are delighted to welcome Tony Baldry MP here today as he has been a great supporter of the project from the outset. The opening of this unique building marks a key milestone in the NW Bicester Eco Development.”
“This project, together with the community centre, currently under construction at the Church of the Immaculate Conception – and being built at cost – display the initial real benefits that the NW Bicester eco development will bring to Bicester.”
Government funding has allowed the Eco Bicester project to start to provide a range of initiatives which will benefit the whole town. These include a subsidised insulation scheme meaning most residents can have cavity wall or loft insulation installed for £49 each. Elsewhere in Bicester, Bryan House will soon be redeveloped providing a combination of affordable housing and temporary accommodation designed to high environmental standards.
The Demonstrator Building is part of the NW Bicester Eco development. A revised planning application was submitted to Cherwell District Council in April 2011 for the Exemplar (first phase) of this development and is currently under consideration.
