The first phase of Passivhaus's finished at Graven Hill

24th May 2019

A new ‘garden town’ is taking shape in Oxfordshire, and Passivhaus is a large part of it. The development around the small market town of Bicester (best known for its shopping village, the UK’s second most visited tourist attraction) will eventually grow the town by more than 10,000 homes. Of these, 1,900 will be built at Graven Hill. A massive experiment in a new model of housing delivery – it will be the UK’s largest custom and self-build housing project, and to simplify the planning process, the subject of the country’s first large scale Local Development Order. The Oxfordshire Passivhaus homes are the largest concentration of private Passivhaus homes in the country and CVC Systems Ltd are proud to be part of it.
