The design team lead by John Thompson & Partners with Joachim Elbe Arkitecktur, Capita Symmonds, RSK, WSP, CgMs, King Sturge and Corylus Ecology has proposed a beacon scheme that will be the largest low carbon residential development to date in South East England.     

   

The government has set a target for net zero carbon new homes by 2016, this project will include the largest photovoltaic array in Europe - 15000m2, supplemented by locally produced biomass. The multi-functional landscape addressed historic, cultural and natural history with a framework of encironmental infrastructure.
