A new village business centre
Cleobury Country Centre is a community based project to provide a centre of training and excellence for the local small business community, conference and teaching spaces for the school’s A level Business Studies course, business starter offices, and a public library.
The project showcases sustainable technology, and is heated by a ground source heat pump. Electricity is generated by a photovoltaic array on the roof, and the wall and roof construction is of super-insulated timber frame.
External walls are clad with untreated native larch boarding, and the roof covering is an extensive sedum roof, with a mix of native plant species.
“Cleobury Country Centre is an excellent civic addition to the village of Cleobury Mortimer. With a combination of low-energy use, on-site generation and sophisticated environmental management systems, the building’s sustainability credentials are excellent – an example for others to follow.”
