4. Correspondence

  4.1. Email from Martyn Apperly, Chaundlers, Church Lane regarding Community Ground Source Heating: Requesting KPC to consider a scheme such as that at Swaffham Prior; “they have undertaken a community heating project, overseen by Cambridge County Council, to create a centralised ground source bore hole, centralised boiler and a distribution network to those villagers who wish to take part. The interface at each property is a Heating Interface Unit which apparently connects directly into existing oil-fired systems, allowing those participating to, if they wish, remove the oil-fired boiler, tank and fuel line. The system seems to have a centralised back-up immersion heater style tank should the main system stop functioning correctly. The starting point for information on the project appears to be https://heatingswaffhamprior.co.uk. I am not certain of the initial costs but the ongoing heat/maintenance costs are significantly lower (at today’s prices) than I would pay for oil.” Martin would be interested to know what the PC thinks.
