Springfield recognised for best sustainable development
Flagship Springfield Village developments win UK awards for
sustainability and community
Springfield Properties (AIM: SPR), a leading housebuilder in
Scotland delivering private, affordable and PRS housing, is pleased
to announce that it has won two national awards showcasing its
best-in-class energy credentials and commitment to sustainability
and community.
The WhatHouse? Awards, which celebrates residential developments
across the UK, recognised Springfield's Bertha Park Village, on the
outskirts of Perth, Scotland, as the Best Sustainable Development
and Dykes of Gray Village in Dundee, Scotland secured the silver
award for Best Public Realm.
Bertha Park, which is already home to a growing community will,
o nce complete, include a mix of 3,000 homes across a range of
tenures. Bertha Park homes feature cabling for electric car
charging, sustainable heating systems and high levels of
insulation. New homes at the Village are four times more efficient
than older equivalent homes and qualify for green mortgages thanks
to their EPC rating of B. The wider Village boasts an established
loch, ancient woodland and a biodiverse suds pond.
Demonstrating its understanding that sustainability extends to
more than energy efficient homes and development design,
Springfield's dedicated Community Engagement Co-ordinator regularly
engages with the residents at Bertha Park, encouraging the
community to come together at seasonal events, while keeping them
updated with the latest Village information.
The team's understanding and commitment to community and
sustainable design also saw Springfield win the silver award for
Best Public Realm for its Dykes of Gray Village. The Village
includes public art, green corridors, places for children to play
and a community core complete with local businesses overlooking an
amphitheatre.
Innes Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Springfield, said:
"We're understandably delighted to have our Springfield Villages
recognised at such a respected event. With steep competition from
across the UK to win these awards is an enormous achievement,
particularly from such a high-profile platform.
"Sustainability is understandably a hot topic at present, and it
has been a focus for us at Springfield for some time. We endeavour
to create sustainable places for people to live, deliver energy
efficient homes that are cost effective to run, engage with the
communities to enhance our social impact while regularly reviewing
our internal practices to mitigate our own impact on the
environment. To have had our efforts recognised with two national
awards with competition from housebuilders across the UK is
outstanding.
"With energy costs at the fore of everyone's minds and with
recent research finding that buyers of a new build home save on
average GBP2,600 pa in energy bills each year at current prices, we
couldn't be prouder of delivering such efficient homes and great
places that allow our customers to live more sustainably amongst
attractive surroundings. These awards are a fantastic endorsement
for what we are delighted our customers benefit directly from."
These awards follow Springfield publishing its first ESG
strategy in September of this year, where t he Group has set new
goals and committed to measuring performance to ensure that it
continually improves . This includes a commitment to achieving net
zero by 2045, in line with the Scottish Government aspirations, and
Springfield will aim to achieve this sooner. Having always placed
great importance on behaving responsibly and instilling
sustainability across its operations, the Group is already well
established on the route map to net zero.
