Our Green Park development in Chillington, Devon, is designed be one of our most sustainable developments to date, reducing energy use and therefore enabling lower running costs, all while supporting local wildlife.
Green Park is built around a simple idea: efficiency without compromise. Imagine your dream home built for a greener tomorrow — designed with today’s environmental standards and your future savings in mind. At Green Park, Chillington, every home blends contemporary style with smart, sustainable features:
1) Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Every home at Green Park, Chillington includes an air source heat pump, using renewable energy from the outside air to provide heating and hot water.
What you’ll notice?
- Gentle, consistent warmth (rather than sharp temperature swings)
- Hot water stored in a dedicated cylinder for reliable everyday use
Why it matters?
- Efficient operation that can help keep energy bills down
- Lower carbon emissions compared with traditional boiler systems
2) Solar PV Panels
Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, helping your home use more of its own power and rely less on the grid.
Key benefits
- Helps reduce the electricity you need to buy
- Adds resilience against future energy price changes
- Works whenever there is daylight — not only in bright sunshine
- Long-lasting technology
3) Triple Glazed Windows
Triple glazing adds an extra pane of glass and insulating gaps to support comfort, efficiency and quieter interiors.
Benefits in everyday life
- Helps keep warmth in during winter and reduces unwanted heat in summer
- Can cut down external noise
- Warmer inner pane can help reduce condensation
- Added strength supports home security
4) Low Energy Lighting
Homes are fitted with low energy lighting, typically high-efficiency LED fittings.
Why it’s practical?
- Uses significantly less electricity than traditional bulbs
- Long lifespan (fewer replacements)
- Instant, bright illumination with very low heat output
5) Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating provides even warmth from the floor upwards, working especially well in modern, well-insulated new build homes.
Why homeowners like it?
- Even heat distribution across the room
- Efficient performance at lower temperatures than radiators
- Hidden system frees up wall space for furniture layouts
- Quiet operation with steady comfort throughout the day
6) EV Charging Pre-Wires
Each home includes pre-wiring for EV charging, which means they have the essential electrical infrastructure ready to support an electric vehicle charger installation in the future.
What this gives you?
- A quicker, simpler route to installing a home charger
- More convenient charging at home compared with public charging points
- Better future-readiness as electric vehicles become more commonplace
7) Ecology Corridors and Protected Species Enhancements
Green Park is designed to support wildlife alongside the community through connected green routes and habitat features.
Ecology corridors
- Connected green spaces that help wildlife move safely through the development
- May include hedgerows, trees, wildflower areas, ponds, and landscaped routes
Protected species enhancements
- Practical features such as:
- Bird boxes
- Bat boxes
- Hedgehog corridors
- Native planting
- Insect habitats
These measures support biodiversity and help protect species and habitats that matter locally — contributing to a greener, healthier place to live.
8) Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Green Park includes SuDS — a smarter approach to managing rainwater on-site.
How SuDS works?
- Slows and stores rainwater instead of sending it straight into drains
- Allows water to soak into the ground more naturally (where suitable)
- Helps protect local waterways and reduces pressure on drainage systems
Wider benefits
- Can create new habitat for plants and wildlife
- Complements ecology corridors and biodiversity enhancements
- Supports climate resilience at a neighbourhood level
EPC A: the highest energy efficiency rating
Thanks to the features above, each home at Green Park, Chillington achieves an EPC A rating — the highest level of energy efficiency.
What EPC A can mean for you?
- Lower energy demand and therefore lower bills
- Reduced carbon emissions
- More consistent indoor comfort across the seasons
- A home that’s better aligned with current and future standards
