"Woodlands Edge is a one-of-a-kind development showcasing the latest eco technology at the time. The site, now fully occupied, has a great community who are passionate about the development and are willing to help one another. Each resident has access to a communal store offering various gardening equipment to reduce the need for households to purchase individual items. One of the aims of the site was to reduce individuals' carbon footprints and deliver a showcase development." Steff Wright - Founder, Gusto Homes
