Please note, this is an independent study being carried out by Renewables East on behalf of Cambridgeshire Horizons. This website has been created to give you information about renewable energy in general, and specifically, about its implementation within new communities in Cambridgeshire, and does not represent any part of the official planning process. The responses collected will help Cambridgeshire Horizons to understand the local community's perception of renewable energy as the county continues to grow.
Welcome
To the Renewable Energy Online Consultation for Growth in Cambridgeshire.
Welcome - This is your chance to let us know what you think about plans to use renewable energy as part of building new sustainable communities proposed for Cambridgeshire.
Your views - local views - on renewable energy are critically important to us.
73,300 new homes are planned to be built in Cambridgeshire between 2001 and 2021. These include major sites in and around Cambridge, a new town north of Cambridge, and potential extensions to existing market towns. The planning for these new communities are at different stages. In some of these there is a real opportunity to fully consider options for renewable energy use. We would welcome your views on the options for the use of renewables in these new communities. A large number of these new homes will be situated in and around Cambridge, and the proposed locations can be viewed on the following map.
On this website you will find all the information you need about the various options for renewable energy, the technologies behind it and how they might be installed and operated in new communities.
This website will also enable you to give us your views on renewable energy generally and how attractive it is for you to live in a new community that has access to renewable energy.
The goal is to create new communities that will significantly cut their use of gas, coal and oil, and to reduce the carbon footprint of those who will be living there.
The consultation period has now closed and the questionnaire has been removed. The questionnaire has given us a valuable insight into your thoughts on the energy that will help us set new standards in sustainable living. The results will be made public in the near future. You can sign up to receive updates about the results.
