The design of the buildings seeks to diversify the type of homes built in the District both in design and construction.

Warwick District Council’s portfolio holder for Housing Services, Cllr Jan Matecki said: "I’m very pleased that this exciting new Council-led housing development will soon be underway, not only increasing our stock to include more affordable and energy efficient housing, but giving more local people the opportunity to live in a spacious, centrally located and beautifully designed new home.”

The houses will be built using timber structurally insulated panels, produced by Innovaré Systems Ltd, based at Middlemarch Business Park.

Innovaré’s managing director Peter Blunt said: “This is the start of an exciting partnership between Warwick District Council and Innovaré that will deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the area.

"In addition, I’m proud that our team get to see their work benefit the local community through the manufacture and construction of the energy efficient homes they produce.”
