Warming Barton
Planning permission has been obtained for energy performance improvements to 27 houses in Barton (a suburb of Oxford).
Oxford City Council granted planning permission for external wall insulation to these 27 poorly insulated system houses.
Other improvements, including solar thermal and photovoltaic panels are planned for the dwellings, which do not require planning permission (they can be carried out under the General Permitted Development Order).
This new Visitor Centre and Micro-Hydro Generator at Osney Lock, on the River Thames (or Isis), in Oxford, has been granted planning consent.
The Generator is expected to produce 150,000 kWh per annum (enough to power 50 average sized houses) from the flow of the water through it.
The Visitor Centre will provide information about renewable energy technologies and the river environment.
