Just off Heathcott Road, Saffron Lane, Leicester, lies the biggest Passivhaus affordable housing scheme in the country. The community-led scheme has regenerated 13.3 acres of overgrown and disused land into a £7 million community of 68 eco-homes that have been built to Passivhaus standard. The affordable housing scheme is accessible to everyone, giving families, couples and individuals a well-designed, environmentally friendly and community orientated place to live in the city.
