Construction has started on what will be the UK’s third Community Heat Hub – a low carbon heat solution that provides heat and hot water to residential communities via a heat network developed and designed especially for low-rise, low-density sites.
Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire contracted the solution from GTC for its Swinnow Park development in Wetherby – a first in the region for the housebuilder.
This is the second Community Heat Hub that Taylor Wimpey has contracted nationally from GTC -with the flagship site already delivering sustainable, low carbon heat and hot water at Westland Heath in Sudbury, Suffolk. The third development boasting a Community Heat Hub can be found at Vistry’s The Gateway in Bexhill, East Sussex.
Taylor Wimpey’s Swinnow Park will deliver 762 homes, a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, which will all be connected to the Community Heat Hub, replacing gas across the whole site.
