    JAGUAR LAND ROVER CASE STUDY Kingspan Energy has delivered the UK’s largest rooftop solar photovoltaic system for Jaguar Land Rover’s new Engine Manufacturing Centre based at i54 South Staffordshire, Wolverhampton, West Midlands. PROJECT SUMMARY Premium car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover is at the forefront of driving sustainability values and responsible use of resources in all areas of their business. These considerations were critically important in the design and build of their new Engine Manufacturing Centre based at i54 South Staffordshire, Wolverhampton, West Midlands. The new engine manufacturing centre has been designed to minimise energy demand and maximise efficiency from the ground up. Jaguar Land Rover also had a strong desire to integrate the most cost-effective and efficient solar photovoltaic (PV) system into the envelope of the new factory building. This would not only provide renewable energy and cost savings but also deliver an attractive return on investment. OVERVIEW PERFORMANCE To meet Jaguar Land Rover’s requirements the project contractor had to deliver a large-scale rooftop The 5.8 MWp system spreads across 35,000 m2 of solar PV system, built to the highest specification, roof space and is expected to generate 30% of the under strict site conditions, during the winter period. plant’s annual energy requirements. Kingspan Energy was chosen to lead the project This output, enough to power more than 1,600 from start to finish. Having already worked on some homes, will be used on site to reduce the building’s of the most prestigious large-scale solar PV projects primary energy consumption from the grid.

  • GL Hearn Letter
    Our ref: 27.02.17 J035136 Your ref: Mr Grant Mitchell Planning and Strategic Services South Staffordshire Council Council Offices Wolverhampton Road Codsall South Staffordshire WV8 1PX 27 February 2017 Dear Mr Mitchell, South Staffordshire Local Plan Site Allocations Document (SAD) ‘Publication Plan’ Consultation January 2017 GL Hearn acts on behalf of Severn Trent Water (STW) in relation to their land interests within South Staffordshire north of and adjacent to the existing i54 South Staffordshire employment site and is instructed to make representations to the current consultation stage of South Staffordshire Local Plan Site Allocations Document (hereafter SAD). STW’s landholding, which is no longer required for operational use, is identified on the attached Location plan and is proposed for future allocation as employment land within the South Staffordshire SAD. Land west of i54 South Staffordshire Council (SSC) will be aware that STW controls the land to the west of the existing i54 employment site that forms the northern part of the proposed extension to this strategic employment site (ref. ‘Land west of i54’) under emerging policy SAD5 ‘Employment Land Allocation’. STW strongly supports the proposed i54 extension identified within the SAD, which is considered to be a logical extension to the existing i54 site, and can confirm the availability of the land for development. These representations support earlier submissions made on Severn Trent’s behalf, which have consistently expressed support for the proposed allocation. Further to our meeting in May 2016, STW will seek to work collaboratively with SSC and Wolverhampton City Council (WCC) to successfully deliver the proposed extension to i54.

Implementation Plan: Outcomes ...................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2 Foreword When West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) launched its Cycling Charter I was very excited to become Cycling Champion - and championing the Black Country Cycling & Walking Strategy is an essential element of that role. Our vision is to realise the full potential of the importance of cycling and walking to the health and wealth of the Black Country – creating more sustainable suburbs, towns and cities that are healthier, safer and more desirable place to live, work and learn. I am genuinely passionate about this issue and the opportunity to promote this ambitious campaign. As an occasional Black Country cyclist myself, I’m looking to work with other people who really know the issues and have practical ideas to boost bikes as a mainstream means of transport. The aim is to make a bike a safer and easier routine travel choice, through improved infrastructure such as cycle lanes, cycle priority and improvements at stations and other public spaces. Historically the West Midlands region has had fewer people choosing to cycle to work than other metropolitan regions - and we want to change that.
