    • You beat me to it. It would be great to have all environutters in the one place. It would certainly help businesses, if ‘these people’ were the only customers then they would only have to stock organic food, recycled loo roll, etc. I suspect the place has its own force field to keep unbelievers out, the weight of all that sanctimony would surely be impenetrable to polluting mortals.

  5. Biomass as fuel is yet another of the Greenies’ lies. It’s bulky, it’s got next to bugger all calorific value and costs a fortune in pounds and gallons of burnt diesel to have it Stobarted around the country.

    Yet more Green fantasies on the back of propaganda and downright bullshit!

  7. It’s all so achingly PC it makes me feel sick.

    However on a serious note, 100 quid a week doesn’t sound like a commercial rent for expensively equipped houses with solar panels etc – how many tax payers dollars are being provided for fund this shit?

    Quite apart from the artificially raised energy bills on everybody else to pay for the feed in tarifs etc.

    • The watermelons don’t like pets because they contribute to warble gloaming – well, according to them. The rest of us are aware that it’s rampant bollocks. That said, watermelons are also likely to be the nasty little extremists who label the domestic cat as a murderer.

  9. The thing is, that although it is easy to laugh at these people, some of their ideas make sense. We flush our bog with water that has been made safe to drink at considerable expense and then piped to our house under pressure. The rain that falls on our roof is taken away, mixed with sewage, purified at considerable expense and then piped back to our house, under pressure so that we can flush our bog with it. The problem is that changing the system that we have is so expensive that, at present, the cost outweighs the benefits. But surely, building new houses that use rainwater to flush the bog while providing mains water as a backup when it doesn’t rain, must be a good idea.

      Sure, if you don’t mind what collects in your gutters left to fester in your toilet bowl before, after and in-between flushes.

      Call me Dainty Doris but I’d much prefer to shit in my loo before the pigeons do. 😆

        • Bacteria and viruses are microscopic so just how small are these filters and what are they made of ? Are chemicals involved ? Is it really worth the effort and how much does it cost ? Is it then really environmentally friendly ?

          I was joking before but if we’re going to pretend to be a little bit serious about it then, frankly, I don’t think they’ve quite thought it through… 😐

  10. I would suspect the tenancy ‘restrictions’ were included as part of the contract in order to reduce the numbers of applicants as much as anything else.

    I think the project is very interesting but I too would not choose to live in a place that had such draconian restrictions on my choices either. But look forward to the fact that this is a way a lot more housing will be constructed and hope that I will be able to be living in one by the time I am a pensioner.

  11. “The homes have been built with natural materials wherever possible, such as timber frames, hemp insulation and lime render”

    Fire hazard :shock:…but don’t bother dialling 999 the fire engine won’t be allowed to park in the street.

    S’pose they could always recycle bodily fluids and try spitting a fire out.
