Manchester United defender Gary Neville is reported to be planning a four-bedroom eco house, built into a Bolton hillside. The proposed home, designed by Make Architects, could be the first zero-carbon home in the region, if the application to Bolton Council is successful. The £8m development would include geothermal energy, a wind turbine and solar panels.
Neville's proposal is not popular with many locals though, with some dubbing it a 'Teletubby-style eco-bunker'. Another footballer who plans to build an eco-friendly development is former Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers player Garry Flitcroft, who now runs Eco house Bolton Ltd. His controversial development has been approved and a historic mill will be demolished to make way for seven luxury eco houses. The houses will feature energy-saving technology, sustainably sourced materials and recycled stone from the mill.
