Huge tomato greenhouses nearing completion in Norwich - hortidaily.com

A huge tomato greenhouse is nearing completion outside Norwich – part of a £120m project using more glass than The Shard skyscraper in London.

The 'world-first' low-carbon farming project on the Crown Point Estate at Kirby Bedon is due to enter its 'testing and commissioning' phase this autumn, said project managers.

Along with a similar development near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, the combined project could supply an estimated 10pc of the UK’s tomato crop using a hydroponic vertical growing system.

The scheme is also using the UK’s largest system of heat pumps to distribute natural energy which the developers claim will cut the carbon emissions associated with growing tomatoes by as much as 75pc.
