Lancaster Cohousing, who recently bought land in Halton to develop their project, will be holding a Public Meeting in August to publicise and discuss their new eco cohousing development.

The Cohousing project will feature zero carbon private homes, community facilities, workshop/office space and shared outdoor space in Halton and will be built on ecological values in partnership with the award-winning architects, Ecoarc.

There’s already considerable interest in the scheme: at present they have 14 households fully signed up, of an expected total of around 25 households.

The Halton location is “a perfect spot to create our exciting eco cohousing development,” say Lancaster CoHousing.

“The site is ideal for accessing the amenities (school, shops, pubs etc) of Halton Village and is just three miles from Lancaster City Centre which can be easily accessed by a riverside cycle path or bus.”
