Decarbonisation scheme proposed for Littlehampton school
A decarbonisation scheme at a Littlehampton school could see the gas-fired boiler plant replaced with a new air source heat pump system.
E3 Cube has made a planning application to Arun District Council on behalf of REAch2 Academy Trust for White Meadows Primary School, in Whitelea Road.
The proposal is to fully remove a portion of the existing boiler plant and replace it with a new system, as part of a decarbonisation scheme to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of the site.
The new air source heat pump unit would be installed to the rear of the building, minimising visual and spatial impact on the surrounding area.
The application states the proposal will significantly reduce the site’s carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, supporting the transition to low-carbon heating in line with national and local sustainability objectives.
In the Noise Impact Assessment prepared by Philip Dunbavin Acoustics, it states the proposed units are predicted to have a low impact overall.
If required, an appropriate acoustic enclosure would be installed to ensure compliance with local noise criteria and to mitigate any potential disturbance to neighbouring properties.
Comments should be made by January 23.
