Converting existing farm buildings into luxury offices.
The scheme involves the conversion of six existing stone barns together with the construction of two new buildings and associated parking areas. The farm is a grade II listed building with many historical architectural features.

Short Rotation Coppice Willow
Willow biomass fuel is used at Esholt Sewage Works for powering the machinery.
Willow can grow two metres in one year, which means that when it reaches harvest time, after three years of growth, it can be as much as six metres tall.
Harvesting is carried out using a converted sugar cane harvester, which sweeps down the rows of willow, coppicing the trees at the base and then chopping them into 10cm long billets. The taller willows (on the right of the picture) were left during the last cut. The billets can be stored, air dried and handled relatively easily.
A Short Rotation Coppice plantation can often remain viable for up to 30 years, and plantations provide wildlife habitats for birds, mammals and insects.

Spring at Esholt
The inscription on the stone reads: "Underneath this stone arises an Excellent Spring of Water which was conveyed in leaden Pipes to ESHOLT HALL in the Year 1785"
Presumably, this is why the wood behind is called "Spring Wood".
