Poolsbrook country park site case study. Sustainability.


Poolsbrook is in Derbyshire and is a caravan site.

It was developed on a brownfield site (an area with previous construction)

Uses sustainable energy features to reduce costs such as:

  • Solar heating panels
  • Photovoltaic panel to convert sunlight into electricity
  • Wind turbine
  • Low energy light bulbs
  • A ground source heat recovery system that exploits geothermal energy

They also realise that by promoting sustainability it is a useful marketing and advertising tool.

Won awards in 2009 for both regeneration and sustainability.
