Développement d’une maison intelligente contre les inondations à l’aide de la technologie StartLink de Larkfleet Homes
| Abstract | The ever increasing likelihood of flood events occurring has helped to create a pinch-point in the supply of adequate new house builds in key infrastructural areas. It is more difficult to use suitable land in flood risk categories because planning authorities are now being advised by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to “allocate, and where necessary relocate, development away from flood risk areas”; no doubt a sensible step without suitable alternatives. However, this has the cause of moving developments into more green-field sites that require significant civil infrastructure investment, while also creating environmental challenges. Furthermore, housing associations are under severe pressure as they seek to provide suitable accommodation in urbanised areas. Building insurance providers are also on the same trajectory and now refuse to take any risks on new properties built on nominally at risk land. The barriers to building traditionally constructed homes in appropriate planning areas continue to mount on the back of increasingly wetter seasons and climate change. In the face of sub-optimal solutions to the problems highlighted, there is an immediate and pressing need to develop a house with flood proof characteristics. This project seeks to take advantage of a novel lightweight house, whose structure is inert and impervious to moisture, in order to develop an economically viable smart flood proof house (SFPH). To deliver this market innovation, the project will develop: specialist active lifting mechanism, structural lifting platform, associated flexible services modules. Realisation of these technical objectives will result in the creation of a SFPH, which will in turn, bring back into play strategic and desirable land, both for private and social building purposes that is currently deemed too risky to build upon. A multitude of social and economic benefits will also follow |
