Nottingham’s Heat Network Gets a Major Upgrade | Nottingham News

Nottingham’s district heating network is set for a major upgrade, with new pipes, a giant gantry over the railway, and a canal bridge linking the Eastcroft incinerator to the London Road Heat Station — all to free up land for housing and future electrified rail. While the project promises expanded capacity and cleaner heating for thousands, critics fear it’ll ruin cherished views, especially of St Mary’s Church. Planning officers say the visual impact is “less than substantial” and that public benefits outweigh the cost — even suggesting lace-patterned cladding to soften the look. Final approval rests with the council’s director, pending Environment Agency clearance on flood and biodiversity safeguards.
