Ecotricity’s green gas mill has been given the go-ahead to be built. The project at Sparsholt College in Hampshire – the first of its kind in Britain – received planning permission this week from Winchester City Council. The £10 million green gas mill funded by Ecotricity will be fuelled by locally sourced grass and produce enough clean gas to heat over 4000 homes per year. The project is also expected to inject £60 million into the local economy. As part of the partnership, Ecotricity will also help fund the development of a Renewable Energy Demonstration Centre at the college. The college has also agreed funding of a £1.2 million in grant from the Local Enterprise Partnership (M3 LEP). Ecotricity founder Dale Vince said: “This is great news, green gas from grass has so much to offer Britain, and this planning consent gives us the opportunity to get started. “Earlier this week the government overruled the local planners in Lancashire to grant approval for the first Fracking site in Britain – as opinion polls show opposition to Fracking reaching an all-time high. “Green gas is the answer; Hampshire looks set to lead the way.” The original planning application for the site was refused in April 2016 but the supplier addressed the transport concerns in a fresh application and included significant traffic alterations and new information. Sparsholt College principal Tim Jackson said: “I had every confidence that the planning committee would see the logic of this application which is entirely in line with local and national planning policy. “The low carbon aspirations of Winchester through their Low Carbon Strategy are commendable but ambitious, and it needs projects like this one at Sparsholt College to help the 20 per cent target of energy generated from renewables by 2020 to stand any chance of meeting this.” Ecotricity introduced the concept of making green gas from grass in Britain early last year, and says it will be full speed ahead to complete the necessary preparation before construction can begin on its latest project. This month, the green supplier also told Utility Week that it would be interested in entering the water market and taking “an eco-approach to water”. Source link
22 August 2016 | Herpreet Kaur Grewal Churchill has announced a new four-year partnership with Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College, to deliver catering, vending and corporate hospitality services at Hammersmith and Fulham College, Ealing Green College and at Southall Community College. Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College provides education and training for more than 20,000 students studying a huge range of subjects and levels. The college is also a member of the 157 Group – a consortium of 29 of the UK’s largest further education (FE) colleges. In a statement, Churchill said it would introduce a “bespoke food offer to rival well-known high street brands and improve the overall dining experience by installing cashless till systems across all campuses”. Churchill currently delivers catering services to a number of other FE and higher education establishments, including Barnfield College, The Royal Veterinary College, and Tameside College.

A new development has gone on sale. The new homes have the unique feature of rooftop terraces and are located in the exclusive SA1. The private terraces of each property will measure 20 square meters, which is thought to be the size of an average living room. The properties will have sea views and will catch most of the day’s sun. There are sixteen homes that are a part of this development and feature a terrace, and a total to twenty-three houses in the development on a whole. The development has been carried out by Neath based Hale Homes and can be found at Prince’s Wharf. The development in SA1 also includes one detached property featuring a rooftop terrace and a garden. The properties in the Prince’s Wharf development are available on sale from £250,000. Each home is either three or four stories high and features a central staircase that runs throughout and from the garage below. As well as the homes that feature the private roof terraces, five of the properties also have a garden. When the development was first opened for reservation, four of the properties were quickly snapped up, which means that the development could be very successful for Hale Homes. The Prince’s Wharf development has been created with a number of environmental concerns in mind. All twenty-three of the properties in the Prince’s Wharf development have been constructed to high energy efficiency ratings. Every house features Triso-Warm which is a specialised type of external wall system that could have significant benefits for heating and lead to a cut in heating costs. Hale Homes have expressed their delight at being able to develop a number of homes in a sought-after area. The Prince’s Wharf development is located in a sought-after area and is perfect for those wanting to live somewhere with both coastal and city elements, offering people the best of both worlds.
