Hill has gained planning permission for a £60m development to deliver 208 zero-carbon homes in Cambridge.
The scheme will be one of the largest zero-carbon developments in the country.
The project, named Virido, will be a joint venture between Hill and Cambridge city council. Hill was selected as the preferred partner by the council after a competitive tender process in December 2012.
Kevin Price, executive councillor for housing at Cambridge city council, said: “I am delighted that this project has passed the key milestone of planning approval. The council has always intended to demonstrate that we can lead quality new-build housing projects that set standards in terms of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.”
Work will begin on the scheme later this year.
