Speaker: Dr Serge Younes, WSP
The talk will present the scale of opportunities in the UK for developer, asset owners (property and land) and investors for on-site renewable energy generation in the UK, looking in particular at the idea of the solar roofs concept developed by WSP and currently being deployed across Europe in the context of financial returns on renewable development, earnings from land or roof rents and potential CRC mitigation.
Speaker: Keith Gowenlock, WSP
The talk will provide a brief summary of Designing Streets, a key new policy and guidance document that is due to be launched this Spring by the Scottish Government, developed by a team of consultants, led by WSP. Keith will emphasise the key benefits of the new approaches to street design for the development sector and how they take forward wider sustainability and health agendas. This will include landtake, potential savings in infrastructure investment and integrated approaches to SUDS
