Building with the Environment in Mind 

Northern Ireland’s First Eco-Neighbourhood...

The Carvill Group as a company have adopted a coporate resoponsibility of implementing the principles of sustainable development in deliverying high quality homes.  By embracing strict environmental policy our homes are constructed to meet Eco Homes standards.

´New developments should not solely provide homes but also generate wealth for communites and investors alike, promote social inclusion and interaction and safeguard the natural environment.

We aim to bring a high quality of life to everyone by putting in place all the elements that help make integrated, vibrant and attractive places in which to live.´

Woodbrook is being designed to a high environmental standard of sustainable living. We’ve considered every element: design and layout of streets, public spaces and buildings, choice of materials, landscaping and services. Each Carvill home will meet the most stringent environmental and energy efficiency requirements. In fact Woodbrook has achieved a ‘very good rating’ in Eco Homes standards as approved in early 2006.

Residents will enjoy life in a high quality, attractive environment combining the best of advanced eco-friendly architecture, technology and landscape design.

• Buildings in harmony with each other and the natural environment.
• Homes designed for energy efficiency using passive solar gain where possible
• Building components chosen with regard to environmental impact and efficiency
• Green spaces for landscaping, community enjoyment and recreational areas.
• A beautiful and safe cycle path and walkway surrounding the whole of Brokerstown Village to encourage residents to enjoy the outdoor environment to the full.
• A nature conservation area which will retain the existing hedge lines, protect the local badger sett and all of the existing wildlife.
• Shops, community buildings, leisure facilities and a primary school will all be on the doorstep to encourage residents to walk and so reduce the need for vehicle usage.
