Stand Up For Seaton (SU4S)

Community Action for Seaton's Regeneration Area, 80% owned by Tesco - a floodplain on a World Heritage site bordered by nature reserves, tidal river, the sea and the unspoilt town. SU4S is a state of mind - no members, no structure, no politics. SU4S has objected to 2 planning applications by Tesco, including one for a massive superstore/dot com distribution centre which led to the recent closure on the site of 400 tourist beds with the loss of 150 jobs,a gym and pool - all used by locals.

First zero emission home unveiled

A new house design that will be the first to meet the environmental standards all new UK homes must achieve by 2016 is being unveiled later.
Kingspan Off-Site's Lighthouse design is the first to achieve level six of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

The two-bedroom house is insulated to lose two-thirds less heat than a standard new home.

It features solar panels, a biomass boiler and water efficiency devices such as rainwater harvesting.

I'm all for sustainable homes but must a level six sustainable home be achieved at the expense of good aesthetic design?

Would we like 300+ of this style of house in the Regeneration Area?
