Glencar appointed to pioneering Baytree scheme

Glencar Construction has been awarded a contract by Baytree, a pan-European logistics building development company, to bring forward a sustainable logistics scheme at a site in Milton Keynes.The 10.4-acre scheme in Fenny Lock, Milton Keynes, is being developed by Baytree and seeks to be one of the most sustainable logistics developments ever built in the UK. The scheme has been specified to be BREEAM “Excellent”, and “WELL” ready and will feature a host of technology enabled features.Among the many features to be included in the design of the two-building scheme are the siting of separate ancillary office pods with roof garden terraces, and onsite water attenuation measures as a part of a sustainable drainage system which includes the harvesting of rainwater for re-use on site. The development will also provide outdoor gyms and training areas, edible vegetation and reclaimed timber seating.It is expected that the development will take eight months to build and be available for occupation by December this year.
