A CHANGING CLIMATE
The potential for local authorities to work in partnership with local developers to collectively take action on climate change.
Local authorities are directly accountable to their constituents for their decisions and are better placed to take swift action than national officials. Local authorities have powers in relation to planning, transport and skills. In addition to their formal powers, local leaders can have enormous influence, using their democratic legitimacy, leadership skills and negotiation to achieve outcomes beyond what can be achieved solely through their own legal powers and duties.
How can we promote Health and Wellbeing alongside economic opportunity and job creation?

Our local authority has the chance to take the lead to be part of a new and dynamic 21st Century development that incorporates:
∙ Sustainable energy ∙ Wellbeing ∙ Equality & accessibility ∙ Integrated transport ∙ Technology ∙ Education & employment ∙ Sense of place |

ELLEL HOLIDAY VILLAGE WILL BE PROMOTING AIR QUALITY BY:
Ellel Holiday Village will encourage sustainable transport. We will plant more trees, which can increase the resilience of areas to withstand heatwaves and also increase absorption of heavy rainfall, thus reducing flooding. Ellel Holiday Village will be promoting energy efficiency. |
BY WORKING WITH THE LOCAL AUTHORITY WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO INCORPORATE WITHIN THE VILLAGE:
Making buildings more energy efficient can reduce their risk of overheating. Reduces energy demand, improving the UK’s energy security and reducing reliance on imported energy. Development of local, decentralised energy schemes improves the UK’s energy security and reduces the likelihood of future energy shocks. |
ACTION TO DECARBONISE CAN HELP TO INCREASE RESILIENCE TO FUTURE CLIMATE IMPACTS AS WELL AS POTENTIAL INCREASES IN ENERGY COSTS AND CHANGES TO OUR ENERGY SYSTEM
HOW WILL ELLEL HOLIDAY VILLAGE HELP CUT THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF FOOD?
We will work together to transform the sustainability of the holiday village’s local food system. Part of our Sustainable Food aim is to improve the health and well-being of all and to create a more connected, resilient and sustainable way of eating.
By addressing key issues and promoting the importance of healthy and sustainable food, we will work towards a circular food economy, radically reducing the ecological footprint of the food system and aiming for zero edible food waste. |
FLOOD AND WATER MANAGEMENTThe holiday village concept has, from the outset of design discussions and development, held the drainage principals of The Pitt Report at the forefront of the layout.
It was an essential requirement that adequate space is provided to ensure that the surface water runoff collected from development, typically roofs, driveways and roads, is managed to ensure that it can be managed on site in such a way so as to be released back into the existing drainage features in a way that mimics the existing site. The development will be drained using a variety of traditional pipes and features including open channel swales, ponds and other storage features. WASTE MANAGEMENT

ENERGY DESIGNED AROUND PEOPLE
Aiming for a sustainable future and reducing the carbon footprint of energy production at Ellel.
Energy for Life
In reducing the carbon footprint of energy production, generating electricity locally is a fundamental element. If this is also incorporated with the generation of heat then the carbon normally generated on schemes such as these can be significantly reduced.
By working in partnership with our local authority we have the chance to incorporate local energy generation into the village. A centralised energy production, thermal electric generation, heat pumps, combined heat and power and solar are key technology elements for the village.
Combining these key elements with district heating and private electric supply networks, servicing the energy demands across the site, would then establish a foundation for reducing the impact on the environment and harness the ability to utilise the waste heat energy produced in the development of electricity generation.
In terms of supporting the circular environment, electricity generated by the waste heat can then be used to provide electric car charging stations and general site lighting.
