"A Part Q site, Helix Homes have set about providing a posit to what is sometimes referred to as a ‘flexible approach’ by Wealden; the council encourages the highest quality design in lieu of what is called ‘Part Q’ where conversions of agricultural buildings into housing can lead to sub-standard outcomes in design, layout and so on.

This gives us a thrilling opportunity to pursue something altogether better – better designed, better built and better energy efficiency. The designs are based on Helix Homes approach to the internationally recognised PassivHaus standard for energy conservation, whilst being influenced by rural architectural forms and materials to reflect the beginning of the 21st Century.

Any building that responds to light in a positive way, is truly joyful. The house designs at Caldicotts each respond to the natural characteristics of the site and its east facing aspect bringing the outside into each home and promoting the highest sense of wellbeing for the occupants."
