Renewables

The RHI payments are set to run until 2036. There are also two 199 kW biomass boilers that were installed in May 2014 and generate a Renewable Heat Incentive payment of circa £56,000. The payments are set to run until 2034. There is a 100kW photovoltaic array on the roof of the building no.2. This was installed in 2018. The Feed-in Tariff (FiT) payments are circa £6,000 per annum, plus cost savings on electricity. The FiT payments are set to run until 2038.
Planning
Consent was granted in 2011 by Sedgemoor District Council (now Somerset Council) for the erection of three no. poultry buildings under application reference 23/11/00006. Two of the three buildings were erected. Permission therefore exists for the erection of the third building.
Services
The property is serviced by mains and borehole water, electricity (three phase), and a sewage treatment plant. There is a biomass boiler heating the poultry buildings with back-up LPG heating and back-up generators if required. The farmhouse has LPG-fired central heating.
