Green building blocks are about to get greener

Ecotricity and H + H UK Ltd are submitting a planning application to build a wind turbine at the H + H UK, Pollington Plant. This will generate clean, non-polluting electricity to power the Pollington site.

Climate change is now widely acknowledged as the greatest environmental threat facing the world today. Over 30% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from the generation of conventional electricity.

So, the single most important thing we can do today to fight global warming is change where our electricity comes from.

Planning Updates

A small update - 14 January 2011

It’s been a while since we have updated this blog, for the simple reason is that there has been nothing to report! The application was with the council and we were waiting for comments from consultees on what they thought of the application. The two consultees who have been concerned about this application are the MoD and Robin Hood Airport (RHADS).

We have been talking to both, and RHADS is now content about the application and we are confident that the MoD will be as well. We are hopeful that we will get a planning decision on this application in 2011.


Mast application for H + H - 02 November 2009

Our application for a wind monitoring mast at H + H was approved last week – as unanimous as we could hope for ... All yes’s and one abstention.

The turbine application is currently with East Riding of Yorkshire District Council; hopefully we’ll get the same level of support when that goes to committee!


Planning application submitted! - 24 July 2009

We were pleased to see so many people turn out for the public exhibition and to have the chance to discuss the proposals. Thank you to all those who attended.

The planning application for the wind mast and the wind turbine have now both been submitted. Hopefully we will soon see H+H UK Ltd getting all of its electric needs from the wind turbine. There will even be enough power going back into the grid to power a village twice the size of Pollington!


Public exhibition - 24 February 2009

See the plans at the public exhibition at Pollington Social Centre on the 24th February 2009 between 2.00 - 7.00pm when members of the Ecotricity team will be available to discuss the proposals and answer your questions.

The exhibition will then move to Goole Library and be open to the public from 25th February 2009 – 11th March. The exhibition will include photomontages of the proposed new wind turbines, information on wind power technology and the damaging effects of climate change.

Once the full application is submitted it will be available to view at;
East Riding of Yorkshire Council
County Hall
Beverley
East Riding of Yorkshire
HU17 9BA
Group Lotus Plc
