Award hopes for homes
ROTHERHAM'S first eco-housing development could be in line for an award.
Henley Rise at Masbrough has 23 homes each with its own wind turbine and solar panels.
They were designed to cut energy bills by 70 per cent and the estate could now be the first eco-friendly development to win a 'Building for Life' Gold Award.
Building for Life promotes good design and best practice in the house building industry.
Awards are given to house builders and housing associations that show they are committed to the highest design standards.
The Masbrough development is run by South Yorkshire Housing Association and includes 12 'affordable homes'.
