Chris Grayling paid a visit to Crest Nicholson’s Noble Park development, situated on the outskirts of Epsom. The site is the location of five cutting-edge eco-friendly homes, which will be among the first of their kind to be delivered in the UK. Mr Grayling was treated to a special tour of the homes and demonstration of the innovative technologies underlying their delivery, prior to them being placed on sale to the general public later this summer.

Mr Grayling added: I was really impressed by the way in which energy efficient house building is evolving, and it’s great to see a local development at the forefront of new technology. Noble Park will be a great place to live, and it’s clearly going to have some very low energy bills as well.
