New homes are designed to achieve certified Passivhaus standards to provide future-proofed homes that incorporate health and wellbeing, minimise their impact on the environment and set a precedent for future phases of Weyside Urban Village. Passivhaus measures have included high performing external fabric, optimised building form and orientation, window proportions and shading to windows to mitigate overheating and harness solar gain.
Phase 3 continues the nature-led approach that was established in Phase 1, contributing to community cohesion and integration. It will deliver the central, southern section of the Wey Walk Community Green Finger which is a multifunctional green space designed for community use and play. This section will serve as a vital link, connecting Weyfield Primary Academy with the wider community, Weyside Walk, and the River Wey Navigation, creating a seamless and accessible pathway for the community. The introduction of new public realm at the Pump House with an active community square will also play a key role in providing a first impression of Weyside Urban Village.
