Richborough Energy Park will bring world-class renewable energy production to a derelict power station site. By embracing advanced and efficient low carbon technologies already in use in mainland Europe, selected providers and operators of energy generation will create environmentally sustainable energy from a number of materials, including wood, crop residues, gasses and household and commercial waste that will provide enough clean energy to power over a million local homes and businesses.

Dear Resident
I am writing to introduce myself and my team
at BFL Management Ltd, the managers of the
former Richborough Power Station site in
Richborough, Kent.
BFL have managed the site since 2007 and are
currently exploring options for future uses.
We have instructed a professional team to
assist in developing a masterplan for a world
class energy park using a variety of sustainable
renewable fuel sources and aim to bring together
leading players in the energy field.
At this stage, we are very keen to ensure that our plans and aspirations for the site are drawn up in
conjunction with Kent County Council and the local authorities, Thanet and Dover, as well as local
residents and interest groups.
In preparing our masterplan proposals, we will be holding a public exhibition in May to display our
plans to the local community. Before this however, we would like to ask local people to help us to
formulate our plans by responding to our online survey. We are keen to hear what local issues might
impact upon our plans for the site and what you feel we should be taking into consideration.
I look forward to reading your responses and will be in contact again soon to inform you of the dates
of the exhibition.
Kind regards,
Gary Lever
Development Director
About time something was done with this wasteland, but don't hold your breath on all the protestors getting ready to whinge. Sod the jobs and the waste disposal aspects, it will be a blight on the landscape, smelly, endangering the habitat of the greater spotted spider or involve cutting down some self seeded tree or sundry rare flora.
ReplyDeleteIf Labour are elected they will support it and claim it as all their idea, if not, they will join the protest groups and suggest Tories are getting brown envelopes out of the deal.
What is absolutely beyond doubt is that, like the Turner, Westwood, Manston airport, Thanet Earth, Broadstairs Community Centre, Gateway Station and so on, they will protest, they will claim to be the majority and they will, as ever, lie through their teeth to back up their claims.
Wonder if everywhere else is like this Planet.
Well 11.17 and no I don’t know why this blog is in time warp, there were load of complaints when it was an Orimulsion power station, so you could say that it will be nothing new for the site.
ReplyDeletePersonally I am naturally suspicious about anything with the renewable energy stamp on it because of the huge amounts of grant funding involved, but scientific hat on this does look like it could be a viable scheme, brownfield site, good road connection, rubbish tip there anyway so it’s a bit smelly to start with.
Hope I am not eating my words later on, it is as they say alright for you, being anonymous.
