Flaxby-based modular housing developer Ilke Homes could manufacture 332 homes for a new housing scheme in Guernsey.

They would be built at Ilke's factory and transported to Guernsey to be constructed on-site.

The Channel Islands Co-operative submitted plans for the development this week and include a car park and supermarket.



Nigel Banks, special projects manager for Ilke Homes, told the BBC:



"We have focussed on having homes that are very well insulated, they are also built using very sustainable materials - we have a big focus on having low emissions to the structures.
"The floors are manufactured then put on a trailer and transported to a harbour, then put on a charter vessel and then transported at night to the location."


Harrogate BID to host culture and inclusion meeting







Harrogate BID will host a meeting next week at Hustle & Co in Harrogate.



Jane Slimming, founder of Culco, an organisation which helps businesses implement cultural programmes, will be the key speaker at the meeting. She is also CEO of Zeal, a Digital and Creative Agency.

Ms. Slimming is expected to speak about subjects around improving workplace culture and inclusion, the future of the workplace, and recruitment.

Harrogate Borough Council has worked closely with the company, helping businesses across Yorkshire. It also funded workshop participation hosted by Culco earlier this year.

Harrogate BID will also hear about plans for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in Harrogate.
