The council has declared a climate emergency. How the proposal will respond to climate change

Arnold White Estates Ltd have a proven track record of promoting and delivering renewable energy projects. They own and operate the 2.5MW 149m tall wind turbine at Double Arches, Heath & Reach and have permission for an additional turbine at that location. As a strategic employment site, the development can deliver renewable energy via different technologies, but could include roof mounted solar and a local energy park. It can include electric vehicle charging for HGVs as well as employee vehicles. The site is also in a highly sustainable location with access to local sustainable transport methods including rail and bus, as well as being within a practical commutable distance of residential properties at Stewartby, Wootton and the Wixams.
