Greenfields Business Park

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council
BBLB is part of the Miller Construction team that Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council commissioned for the design and construction of a number of Hybrid Units at Greenfields Business Park in Hinckley, Leicestershire. The park offers businesses a range of environmentally responsible units for light industrial usage with excellent road network links and fantastic facilities.
The scheme is now complete and comprises ground floor warehouse space and first floor office space and 16 industrial units – total GIFA approx 40,000 square feet.
The scheme has achieved BREEAM ratings of “excellent” for the Hybrid Units and “very good” for the Industrial Units. The industrial units within the scheme make use of the following sustainable technologies:
- Timber cladding – providing a lower ‘carbon footprint’ by utilising re-usable and sustainable materials
- Living ‘green’ roofs planted with sedum – providing a high level of insulation, reducing energy costs and cutting rainfall run-off by up to 90%
- Wind turbines on some of the buildings – providing a sustainable source of energy
- Permeable paving – reducing rainwater run-off and passive ventilation.
A five-year ecological management plan has also been drawn-up to benefit the ecology of the site.
