The public are being invited to comment on a Public Open Space Disposal for land at Grace Road Field, Marsh Barton, for a proposed energy centre.
Exeter City Council intends to dispose of approximately 1.8 hectares of land at Grace Road Fields, Clapperbrook Lane East, Marsh Barton, Exeter, EX2 8QA.
The energy centre site, for the Exeter Energy Network, is proposed on land between Marsh Barton railway station and the Exeter Ship Canal. Part of this site was used as a laydown area when the railway station was being constructed.
It follows an assessment of 14 potential energy centre sites across the city was carried out with the proposed location found to be the most suitable.
The Grace Road Energy Centre is planned to generate low carbon heat from a variety of sources including heat pumps and utilising waste heat from a data centre and the adjacent Energy Recovery Facility.
By connecting to a centralised energy centre buildings can remove the need for individual gas boilers and the city can enjoy cleaner air with less reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Plans are available for inspection on the Council’s website https://exeter.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/consultations-and-petitions/public-open-space-disposal-land-at-grace-road-field/ or on request by email estates@exeter.gov.uk or telephone 01392 265162.
The Council will consider any comments submitted in writing to The City Surveyor, Exeter City Council Paris Street Exeter EX1 1JJ or via email estates@exeter.gov.uk which should be received by 31 December 2024 by 5pm.
