The Rackheath Eco-town is a proposal for just over 5000 〔http://www.ecoworld.com/energy-fuels/energy-efficiency/britain-builds-green-towns-reduce-co2.html〕 houses to be built in the Rackheath area, in Norfolk,〔 〕 within a mile of The Broads National Park.〔http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=stonehouse+road&sll=52.686009,1.411314&sspn=0.029084,0.109863&ie=UTF8&ll=52.686061,1.394362&spn=0.014542,0.054932&z=15〕 The controversial proposals have been featured on many programmes, including BBC One's Politics Show, BBC One's Look East,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=SNUB Hosts Ecotown Meeting - Look East )〕 ITV's Anglia Tonight〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Ecotown only Receives Partial Funding - Anglia Tonight )〕 and a BBC One Norwich North By-Election Special.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Ecotown Discussion - Look East Norwich North By-Election Special - YouTube.com )〕 ==History== The site was used for agricultural purposes until 1943 when an airfield, RAF Rackheath, was constructed and used by the United States Army Air Force Eighth Air Force.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rackheath )〕 The airfield was closed at the end of war in 1945 and the land was returned to farming with most of the runways and taxiways being broken up for aggregate. Some buildings were retained and now form part of Rackheath Industrial Estate.〔RAF Rackheath〕 In the late 1990s, a large residential development was planned for the Rackheath and Salhouse area, but after public consultation, this did not progress any further. The government launched a programme to build a number of sustainable green new towns in 2007 and invited proposals. The plan was to build up to 200,000 new homes on government-owned land in the greenbelt by 2020. To allow the settlements to be built in this timescale the plans would not have to go through the standard planning process.〔 The proposal to develop the Rackheath site as an eco-community was presented by (Building Partnerships ), who represent the land owners, and Barratt Homes. The proposal was considered by personnel from the (Low Carbon Innovation Centre ) at the University of East Anglia, which comprises (Carbon Connections ) and the (Community Carbon Reduction Programme ) (CRed).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us )〕 Since the original proposal LCIC has offered technical support to the project. Prior to their involvement with Rackheath, LCIC had investigated the eco-town proposal for Coltishall and decided not to become involved. In June 2009, the site was given the go-ahead from the Government, after receiving an A-grade listing, meaning the location would be generally suitable for an eco-town.〔http://www.building.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=3126903〕 The proposals would still have to go through the planning process, where they would meet the fierce opposition of many local residents and political parties.〔http://www.edp24.co.uk/content/edp24/news/story.aspx?brand=EDPOnline&category=NewsSplash&tBrand=EDPOnline&tCategory=xDefault&itemid=NOED16%20Jul%202009%2009:55:33:073〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rackheath Eco-town」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
