Rolton Kilbride is delighted to announce that its renewable energy centre based at Fort Industrial Park, Castle Bromwich, which uses state of the art gasification technology, was recently granted planning permission unanimously by the Birmingham City Planning Committee.
The project is a collaboration between site owners, Legal and General and Rolton Kilbride, who have been brought in by Legal and General to develop and manage the site.
The facility will recover energy from non-hazardous residual waste in the form of heat and electricity. It will have the capacity to process up to 105,000 tonnes of waste each year, to produce sustainable power for commercial users across the local area. The proposals also include the construction of a new industrial/warehouse building to include storage and offices.
The planning committee was highly complimentary of the quality of planning documents submitted, the overwhelming merits and strengths of the technology and the quality of the consultation undertaken.
Working with Dorchester Living, Rolton has developed an ambitious new energy strategy that combines digital innovation, embedded renewable energy, and a clear trajectory towards net zero for their Heyford Park development in Oxfordshire.
This year Centreco, a UK leading commercial solar energy system design, installation and management organisation are exhibiting and sponsoring for the first time and have invited Rolton to partner in providing their thinking and content for two sessions focused on energy and technology, bringing thinking around this topic to the show.
IMPACT Magazine recently featured Rolton Chair, Peter Rolton and our white paper “Powering the 2035 Industrial and Data-Driven Revolution” which calls for the energy and real estate worlds to coalesce to attract the investment for infrastructure the UK needs.
