‘Sustainable’ Expansion Plan For Well-Being Centre

A Health and Well-Being Centre on the edge of Market Harborough is set to be expanded in a scheme aiming to be one of the most sustainable in the country.

To be known as ‘Harborough Solar Rise,’ the development at Archway Health and Well Being Centre, on Lubenham Hill, would also include eight custom-built homes and new office space.

The buildings would be made of sustainable materials, making them carbon neutral within four decades and generate all their own power and heating needs.

The ecological venture would expand the services Archway can offer as emotional, physical and mental health has become a priority for many people amid the Covid pandemic.

Owners of the centre are working on the plan with specialist architects and will submit a planning application to Harborough District Council this week.

Alec Welton, who runs the centre with his wife Stella, spoke to Hfm:
