How does the Lowhouse reduce occupant’s car use?
All occupants (now and in the future) will be bound by an agreement to have only one fossil fuelled car for personal and business use with its annual mileage restricted to 10,000 miles and will sign a written commitment to reduce its use to 6,000 miles per annum within 3 years. In addition, the large vegetable plot may help to reduce food miles of fruit and vegetables. A row of apple trees planted along the edge of Bucks Lane at the southern end of the site will aid this vision towards self sufficiency.
