AN ENERGY-efficient affordable housing development in Stonehouse has been shortlisted in The Sustainable Housing Awards 2010.

Completed earlier this year by Two Rivers Housing in partnership with Stroud District Council, the £1.5 million project in Midland Road is a nominee in the Sustainable Smaller Development of the Year category.

Further funding from the Homes and Communities Agency was ploughed into the 16-home development, which replaced eight old-fashioned concrete houses on site.

Organised by Inside Housing magazine, the ceremony takes place in London in October.
