The final designs will be displayed at David Wilson Homes' Fairway Gardens development in Angmering to highlight the water-saving potential of new builds.

The workshop is part of a larger campaign by the housebuilder to engage schools and community groups with the energy and water-saving features of its Fairway Gardens homes.

David Wilson Homes claims its latest water and energy-saving technologies could reduce water usage and bills by 27 percent compared to older homes.

Becky Ball, Angmering Scout Leader, said: "Designing watering cans is a great way for the Scouts to understand energy efficiency and how much water is saved in new build homes.

"The educational but engaging workshop allowed the children to be creative whilst learning important lessons on how best to protect our planet."
