This webinar forms part of our RTPI Online series and is brought to you by the RTPI Dumfries and Galloway Chapter.

Nith Valley Leaf Trust, a Community Development Trust, has delivered three passive certified houses with the support of South of Scotland Community Housing (SOSCH).    

The presentation will explain how the project was planned, delivered and outcomes achieved, ensuring that identified local needs and objectives were translated into affordable, energy efficient homes in community ownership. 

The project recently won the SURF award for Best Practice in Community Regeneration in the “Housing and Regeneration” category.

Speakers are Mike Staples from South of Scotland Community Housing and Jakob Kaye from Nith Valley Leaf Trust.
