BedZED
BedZED is the UK’s largest eco-village. The aim was to help residents and office workers reduce their ecological and carbon footprints to a sustainable, "one planet" level. The plans cover reducing energy use, providing renewable energy, minimising the embodied energy of the buildings, reducing fossil fuel miles and also tackling food, waste, water usage and flooding.

The housing is split into three types: normal market housing, where rents or purchase prices are a little above the local market rate due to the higher quality; what’s called "key worker" housing, sold or let to people like nurses and teachers at lower cost; and social housing, let out at low rent levels set by a national formula to be affordable for people on low incomes.
thanks for your exellent picture! really nice and good information to understand bedzed! thanks!

Great set of photos. I talked about BedZED on the Big Green Challenge blog the other day and just added a link to your photos in the comments. I’ve also included a couple in our group on Facebook.
What are the rents like? Thanks for sharing with Creative Commons. I used this with "100% Renewable by 20XX" which mentions passive houses. http://www.policyinnovations.org/ideas/briefings/data/000197
Thanks, glad to see the photos are getting out & about. We’re all excited by the Big Green Challenge at BioRegional too!
I hope they’ve planted attractive, oxygenating and shade-cover trees!!
