As part of the London AECB group, we visited the lovely essex hamlet of Love Green, part of Highwood Village, to visit a community-led sustainable village hall build, almost complete.
Community members Petra and Richard gave us a really inspiring talk through the life and story of the project, from the need to create a sustainable hub for the village, and a social centre for the local community that would also act as an exemplar low energy building for future development in the village.
A significant PV array, partly grant funded, on the roof is hoped to bring income to the community for reinvestment and running costs.
The community has future plans for a community orchard
