The planned greenhouse will consist of a series of 25-meter-high pyramid greenhouses with a length of 50 meters of each border.
The innovation of the pyramid greenhouses was inspired by the Egyptian pyramids. The shape of this natural element is strong and resistant and unraveling energy mystery. The innovative greenhouses adopt the shape of a pyramid, in addition to the appearance, but also has the effect of promoting growth and take full advantage of the vertical space. The greenhouse utilizes the spatial truss structure of the honeycomb in the external to form a strong point-surface resistance. In addition, the top-cone structure is also conducive to the hot accumulation of hot air in greenhouses, which is more conducive to vertical ventilation and chimney effect so that no ventilation fans are needed at all. The smooth four slopes of the pyramid also facilitate the coverage of hard materials such as polycarbonate hollow sheets, and can also install a certain percentage of solar panels to solve part of the electricity for greenhouse production.
Aeroponic and aquaponic systems will be built inside and the overall production efficiency will be 20 times as per the same area on a traditional farm, and it is sustainable agriculture which uses zero insecticides and 90% less of water. It also costs significantly less than widely used Dutch-style greenhouses.
The vegetable and fruit basket affects all families but the UK has a self-sufficiency rate of just 58% in vegetables and 11% in fruit! It is believed to replace the imported vegetables if this new technology can be widely used throughout the country and create a lot of local jobs.
This is an Innovate UK project and is partnered with both Nottingham and Nottingham Trent Universities. There are a few of potential sites throughout the UK to launch this project and our farm is one of them. Whether or not the final project will be launched here is also subject to local planning authorities’ support.
Could I ask, have you requested planning permission for this yet?
Any planning applications will be found from local Council’s planning website and there are certain new permitted development rights launched by the central government on farmland since 6th April 2018 to encourage modern agricultural buildings. However, as it is on private land we don’t have any obligation to disclose any information to the public other than local council’s requirement. To secure the site from burglary, trespassing and damage is obviously the first step to take.
My I then suggest that you closed the route now to stop uncertainty to people who may walk on it
That’s what we are doing, working with the Environment Agency to sort out plans and methods.
What are you doing to mitigate against birds colliding with the structure? What measures are you planning to take to ensure agricultural run off does not enter the lake and therefore entering the nature reserve?
Kind regards

We will have experts to solve these issues.
I’m really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A small number of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any tips to help fix this issue?
This is a standard WordPress blog.
Generally I don’t read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thanks, very nice post.
Thanks.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Thanks but this is not related to our topic.
