Summary

Alongside the traffic-choked Kingston bypass, an experiment in urban sustainability is about to get under way. Supermarket giant Tesco is behind the development of a pioneering mixed-use project that will provide over 800 new apartments and a big, new Tesco store on a four-hectare site at Tolworth. What's different about this scheme is that organic waste from the supermarket will be used to provide heat and power for the site. Tesco claims it will be the first mixed-use scheme in London of such a high sustainable calibre.
