Bioregional Homes
At Bioregional Homes we build One Planet Communities. These are schemes that use the ten principles of One Planet Living® in design, construction and facilities management to achieve sustainable development – genuinely affordable homes that are zero-carbon, built from sustainable materials, that encourage recycling, food growing and biodiversity, and communities that are great places to live and work. Bioregional Homes is a wholly owned subsidiary of environmental charity Bioregional.
Bioregional Homes submitted planning application for our first One Planet Community in Chobham in December 2018 The development, which we plan to build on the former Mincing Lane Nursery site in Chobham, UK, will enable its residents to live happier, healthier and greener lives. We want it to cater to all ages – from young people and families to retirees. A central part of the plan has been to work in partnership with local people to design the scheme and create a Community Land Trust to own the land in perpetuity. This means that reduced house prices for people living locally will be protected permanently. Our vision for the site is an affordable, neighbourly, zero-carbon community surrounded by green space where it's easy and convenient to make sustainable choices.
