What thought has been given to incorporating sustainability features and to achieving high environmental standards in the design?
The designs are currently at a conceptual rather than detailed stage but the aspiration to achieve high sustainability standards forms part of the brief. The standards that can be achieved will be different between the refurbishment of existing buildings and the new-build parts of the scheme. The issues of grey water re-cycling, alternative energy sources and high thermal efficiency standards will continue to be evaluated as the design process proceeds and within the context of the overall viability of the scheme.
