First 'pounds for pylons' energy bill discount sites revealed
EMH says the upgrade will reduce heat loss and cut bills for 10 homes, while council officers review the proposal.
- EMH submitted a planning application to Ashfield Council for external wall insulation at ten properties on Mayfield Street in Kirkby, targeting completion before winter.
- Installing insulating boards on building exteriors prevents heat loss and lowers energy bills while refreshing the appearance of old walls. The work represents a standard upgrade.
- The proposed improvements target homes at numbers 7, 15, 22, 24, 34, 42, 62, 64, 68, and 70 Mayfield Street, located off Pinxton Road in the Kirkby Cross and Portland ward.
- Ashfield Council planning officers set a September 29 decision deadline while the environmental protection department confirmed no objections to the scheme.
- Similar insulation projects at 37 Byron Road in Annesley reflect a wider push by housing providers to improve energy performance across aging housing stock in Ashfield.
