]]> Infinite have been working with Willis Asset Management to bring renewable energy to their headquarters at Aviation House in Bridgend. A Feasibility Study was undertaken and recommended that a mixed-technology development, integrating solar and wind would be suitable for the site consumption profile.  The proposal would provide Willis Asset Management with an opportunity to reduce their environmental impact, reduce energy costs and contribute towards the Welsh Government’s and Bridgend County Council’s targets for renewable energy generation.

The first phase of the development is a 0.5MW ground mounted solar farm, which was granted planning consent in October 2024.

The second phase is the installation of an 80kW wind turbine. Aviation House maintains aircraft jet engines and Willis wanted the turbine to represent their specialist sector. Infinite took on the concept and produced a unique jet engine design for the turbine nacelle that represented Willis Assets services at Aviation House.  The planning application was submitted in December 2024 and is pending a decision.

Together the solar farm and wind turbine will provide Aviation House with a direct supply of green energy, supplying them with more than 85% of their on-site energy demand.

Infinite are designing, managing and submitting the planning applications for the site. Infinite will also project manage the construction of the development and maintain the solar and wind turbine thereafter.

]]> In 2023, Infinite was approached by the owner of Rhosygilwen Mansion, a music and wedding venue, in Pembrokeshire.

The Mansion House was heated using a ground source heat pump, with electricity generated by an existing solar farm.  However, there was a mismatch from the existing solar generation for the heating/winter season.  High energy costs during the winter months, meant that the owner of the Mansion wanted to find a green, low cost solution in addition to their solar farm.  A wind turbine was therefore the solution to supply the large majority of power required to run the heat pump during the winter season.

Infinite provided robust planning support, preparing and submitting the planning application. This was a challenging site, as Rhosygilwen Mansion is a Grade II listed building and there were concerns about the potential impact on the heritage asset and its setting.  Aviation operation safety issues were also raised by West Wales Airport located about 9.5km from the site.

Infinite worked closely with the statutory consultees and consultant team to find a solution to overcome the objections received and be able to deliver an appropriate development that would not compromise the heritage asset and its setting or aviation safety.

The planning application was approved at Planning Committee in April 2024.
