T' other project on the go with PEEL now reposted:- *********************************************** Plant Approved in Yorkshire Planning permission has been granted for Peel Environmental's combined heat and power (CHP) biogas plant which will use anaerobic digestion to process 60,000 tonne per year of food waste in Wheldrake, Yorkshire. The Manchester, UK based waste treatment infrastructure developer said that consent for its North Selby Anaerobic Digestion and Horticultural Glasshouse facility, which will be located on the former North Selby Mine site, was granted by the City of York Council. According to the company the £23.5 million project will use the process treat organic commercial and industrial waste and produce 1.5 MW of heat and up to 2.75 MW of electricity - enough energy to power around 3500 homes. Peel went on to explain that some of the heat produced by the facility will be used to heat a horticultural glasshouse, which will be developed alongside and operated by Howden-based specialist Plant Raisers to propagate mainly tomato plants. The plant is expected to produce up to 30,000 tonnes of digestate each year, which the company said could be used by local farmers as a biofertiliser. The electricity generated is expected to be used both by the glasshouse and exported to the National Grid via an existing on-site connection. According to Peel, once complete the facility will provide 20,000 tonnes per year of carbon savings compared to sending the waste to landfill - greater than the levels of CO2 produced by City of York Council. The company added that the facility will provide an economic boost to the area, providing up to 256 jobs during construction and 56 full time positions and 50 seasonal positions during operation, with the impact of these in the region of £2.2 million Gross Value Added (GVA) per year. It will also facilitate the expansion of Plant Raisers - a successful Yorkshire business. "As we look to bring forward other sites for the co-location of waste infrastructure, it is encouraging to see that the value of what we are trying to achieve in terms of developing mixed-use sites with waste infrastructure development at their core has been recognised," explained Myles Kitcher, a director at Peel Environmental. "As a developer bringing forward merchant facilities, we are confident that we can quickly get this scheme off the ground and into operation," he added.

Re POST of Typical on going project:- *********************************************************** Peel Energy at Kellingley SOUTHMOOR ENERGY CENTRE, KELLINGLEY COLLIERY Introduction to the Project Southmoor Energy Centre is a proposed Energy from Waste facility with Combined Heat & Power (CHP) to be co-located at Kellingley Colliery. The centre will be capable of producing 26MW of electricity and heat that could be supplied to the nearby colliery, helping support lower operating costs by providing a stable and low cost source of power. Kellingley Colliery in Beal, North Yorkshire, lies about 1.5 miles east of Knottingley on the A645 and has excellent transport links including road, rail and canal. The proposed centre will be built on an underused area of land on the south-western side of the colliery site, close to existing structures and will be designed to ‘fit’ with these as closely possible. Apart from the chimney stack, all buildings associated with the centre have been designed at a lower height than the existing buildings and structures. Prior to construction, the conveyors on site will be re-routed, which it is hoped will increase the efficiency of operations. Replacement screen housing will also be constructed. Southmoor Energy Centre presents a number of benefits both for the local area and the wider environment. If built, the £200 million project could: •Create around 38 full time jobs •Provide a stable supply of low-cost electricity and heat to the colliery and nearby businesses •Make use of existing industrial land with excellent transport links •Operate an efficient Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system, and would generate 26MW of electricity •Make beneficial use of commercial and industrial (and possibly household) waste •Divert waste from landfill and use it to produce energy •Contribute to government targets, complementing coal, gas and other renewable sources •Provide carbon savings of around 95,000 tonnes per year compared to sending waste to landfill The project will be financed through private funds, and we’re currently investigating which technology providers and operators to partner with in terms of environmental performance and financial strength. We have now submitted a planning application for the Southmoor Energy Centre to North Yorkshire County Council. As part of the application we have carried out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which assesses the impact of the proposed facility in terms of traffic, air quality, visual impact, noise and odour both during its construction and in its future operation. In order to operate, the Southmoor Energy Centre will require an Environmental Permit issued by the Environment Agency. The Environment Agency will only issue a permit if the results of the EIA are found to be within acceptable limits. Typically, emissions from facilities of this type are m

Gud lad ?Girl :-D just a note any one any clues who owns red rose infrastructure?????????????????? just pondering on something ************************************************************************************* they bought £20 mill worth of Harworth Coal mine methane Generation at Stillingfleet and Harworth when struggling for cash.

may be worth a peek now to see what potential values are? since 2007. ie what is the value of cutacre, this was valued at 10 - 20 Mill for example? typical old colliery sites undeveloped are worth say 5-10 mill as a fag packet valuation We have been pondering a fag packet valuation could you help with this??

Well we have a great up date to Harworth Estates site this week so plenty of reading..... http://www.harworthestates.co.uk/about-us/at-a-glance/company-profile The foundations were laid for whats happening now 5 years ago

just taking a look back at 2007 Harworth Estates Portfolio:- 46,500 acres (18,818 hectares) of predominantly agricultural land. Within this, some 3,696 net acres have been identified as offering prime prospects for development into a mix of residential, business park, distribution and community developments over the medium to longer term. At 31 December 2007, the Group’s property interests, excluding the deep mine sites, had a current open market value of £411 million.We estimate, however, that, with the benefit of currently envisaged planning consents, at 2007 prices, our land portfolio would have a worth of some £935 million by 2012, and in excess of £1 billion by 2013, in each case with the potential for further development phase value uplift

Ocado in Morrisons warehouse search — Published: November 04, 2013 by David Thame Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Share on print More Sharing Services Ocado, the online grocer, is looking for a 350,000 sq ft northern warehouse ahead of the launch of its partnership with WM Morrisons. The retailer is understood to have short listed seven north-west sites and seven Yorkshire sites, and had requested information from landlords with a deadline of 1st November. It envisages a 35-acre development employing around 2,000 people. Northern property sources say Harworth Estates’ Logistics North site at Cutacre, Bolton, is in pole position, but it is understood that no decision has been made about whether to opt for Yorkshire or the north-west. Colliers International is understood to be advising Ocado: it declined to comment. Supermarket chain Morrisons announced in May it was to pair up with Ocado in a £216m deal. Morrisons will use Ocado’s experience to launch an online grocery business, and agreed a sale and leaseback of Ocado’s 350,000 sq ft depot at Birch Coppice, Tamworth. Ocado continue to distribute Waitrose goods. The Waitrose deal was signed in 2010, and runs until 2020, with an opt-out in 2017.

you are correct ************************************************************************************************************ IMO Peel have significant say over strategy at Harworth estates and indeed Coalfield resources for the purposes of this BB they are the same !(Harworth and Cres) PEELs synergies are countless, apart from the fact a Directorship teams are PEEL people! BIOMASS energy WIND FARM, already in planning and built with Harworth SRFI Road to Rail depots, this combines with the forthcoming Liverpool Superport and the new MAMMOTH container ships from USA ( PANAMA CANAL), several ' Oven ready' road to rail either built or in planning/ potential CMM, these are a tie in currently with IGAS , who are drilling on PEEL land at or near to their BIO MASS plants, that are just coming on stream, Peel have said they want to exploit Coal Mine methane/ shale gas etc PEEL AIRPORTS ( robin hood, longest freight runway in North freight up 300% on year), this ties in with ROSSINGTON Link road and the developments up there So basically list is endless cheers

har made me smile thanks

Liverpool 2 Liverpool 2 will enable the container handling capacity at the Port of Liverpool to be doubled from 750,000 teu to 1.5million teu per annum. The project will create 408 direct jobs and 4,631 indirect jobs, 3,278 of which will be in Merseyside districts. The indirect jobs are in activities totally dependent on the new port terminal - such as warehousing and HGV driving jobs. It is regarded as a crucial project by local partners in Atlantic Gateway and as part of the Superport partnership. The project will create a new quay wall some 854 metres long from the South West corner of the Royal Seaforth Dock and the formation (including dredging) of a berthing pocket on the seaward side of the wall. The project will also extend the Bootle Northern outflow sewer and create a new public footpath to the Northern extent of the Port. There are proposals for local environmental projects to be funded through the Community Environment Fund – a key part of the "Adapting the Landscape" initiative. The new container terminal facility is scheduled to be completed by 2014.

Liverpool 2 starts to take shape Simon Donohue Work has begun to install the steel piles that will form the foundations of the £300m Liverpool 2 deep water container terminal. Specialist rock drilling equipment will provide sockets for 329 tubular steel piles weighing 47 tonnes each. In excess of 19,000 tonnes of steelwork will be needed to create the new 854 metre-long quay wall, followed by 30,000 cubic metres of concrete to build the capping beam. At almost 30m high this is one of the highest quay walls in Europe. The new terminal is designed to enable Liverpool to handle larger modern container ships, many of which currently use southern container ports such as Southampton and Felixstowe which have the capability to handle larger vessels. The completed quay wall will allow two vessels of up to 13,500 TEU to dock simultaneously when the terminal opens for business in 2015. Mark Whitworth, chief executive of Peel Ports Group, which owns the Port of Liverpool, said: "Our investment in Liverpool2 will enable deep sea vessels to call directly at the most centrally positioned port in the UK, allowing shippers to access a market of over 35 million consumers within 150 miles. "What is genuinely exciting is the Port of Liverpool's unique logistics proposition which capitalises on its natural geographic advantage. Liverpool offers an all-water route into the UK's most populous urban area via a frequent feeder service on the Manchester Ship Canal. "An importer can move their product from anywhere in the world to the heart of the UK - within a stones' throw of Manchester - without touching an inch of UK road tarmac. "That is very appealing to many businesses both for its carbon and its cost-saving advantages." The Port of Liverpool also serves Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland with daily scheduled services to Belfast and Dublin. - See more at: http://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/news/archive/14565-liverpool-2-starts-to-take-shape.html#sthash.CeqBST5z.dpuf
