Rescue Hens

I've been forwarded this info:

Carbon neutral housing near Forest Row to visit?

I come from Gloucestershire, but have friends near East Grinsted who are building themselves a new house. I have been trying to get them to make it carbon neutral, but their mind is preoccupied by making it look neoGeorgian. Are there any owners of sustainably-built housing near Forest Row who might be willing to give them a tour of their houses? It really would be dire if they went ahead and built a totally conventional house without considering the alternatives. Martin
