Yorkshire school to install renewables
A £32 million facelift for a North Yorkshire school is set to go ahead following a lengthy consultation on what technology it is to install.
The Richmond School was selected to benefit from the government's Building Schools for the Future initiative, however planning issues have seen the project delayed by 12 months, according to a Yorkshire Post report.
It is understood that ground source heat pumps were to be installed but were ditched in favour of a large biomass boiler to provide heating for school buildings and to ensure the green credentials of the project were kept intact.
The strategic planning manager for North Yorkshire county council's children and young people's service, Suzanne Firthwe, told the news provider: "We are confident of creating an excellent school in Richmond despite the setbacks."
Some 11 wind turbines were also to be installed, however this number is still under debate and it is thought may face being reduced.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the supplier. You told me on Tuesday my order would be due within 3 days but you couldn't guarantee it and, as usual I'd left everything to the last minute (we have visitors arriving Friday night and wanted it for then) so I pushed you but you said as it didn't come straight from you, you really couldn't guarantee it.
Anyway, lo and behold, yesterday morning,LESS THAN24 HOURS, after ordering, here it was at my work! Last night when I got home (and my husband only got in 20 minutes before me) it was in our new open fireplace roaring away! I didn't watch a program I really wanted to watch as we spent a long while looking at our lovely new fire - my husband's excuse was he wanted to make sure he'd built it all the right size to avoid smoke coming in to the room!
I just wanted to say thank you for being so efficient and if anyone wants anything to do with fires etc, I'll definitely send them to you!
