Grainger have appointed sustainability experts Hoare Sustainability will be at the core of the new Lea to provide specialist advice and design input to development, to help reduce its impact on the reduce the energy needs and carbon footprint of the surrounding environment and future generations. Key new development. Some the key measures to achieve approaches to achieve this are listed below: this are listed below: • Site wide sustainable design led approach • Passive and active energy efficiency measures • Reduction of domestic water consumption • Early design stage thermal modelling to ‘design in’ through the use of low flow fittings and efficient performance design • Enhanced thermal performance of facades to reduce • Sustainable transport strategy with connections to energy demand for heating local transport networks and the provision of cycle friendly amenities • Limitation on heat loss through airtight façades • Community engagement and Considerate • Heat recovery on mechanical ventilation systems Constructors Certification • Energy efficient lighting, pumps and fans • Strategy to reduce surface water runoff • High efficiency / low NOx gas boilers providing • Native species planting and habitat creation to heating and hot water support local ecology • Potential for integration of renewable energy • Waste recycling facilities Sustainability sources including Photovoltaic Cells and Solar Thermal Systems • Focus on natural daylighting to enhance live/work environment and reduce reliance on electric lighting • Specification of sustainably sourced, low embodied carbon and recycled materials

Community Planning WeeKEnd What do you think?

We would welcome your feedback on our initial thoughts.

We invite you to join the public workshops during the Community Planning Weekend to share your experience and ideas with us.

Next steps

Our ideas will be developed further over the next few days, incorporating the ideas, experience and comments we receive from you. We will analyse and summarise the Weekend and prepare an illustrative masterplan, which we will present back to you on Thursday, 16 July at 7PM at St Nicolas Church.

Thank you for coming to our exhibition. We look forward to Next Steps working with you over the coming months.
