The Village Heat Decarbonisation Project report commissioned by the Parish Council has now been completed.
The consultants have concluded that a heat network drawing on the water in local underground aquifers, together with an energy centre for additional heat, could pump hot water to buildings in the village core with potential savings for residents and big CO2 savings.
However they say that a further more detailed study is required to verify and refine the findings and provide a detailed financial plan.
The Parish Council is in discussion with Staffordshire County Council and Lichfield District Council about a possible application to the Government Heat Network Development Unit for funding for the Phase 2 study.
