Hodson Bay Waterfront Park Project
Verify against official sourceReviewed build intelligence
What the documents propose
Direct application pending
Application proposals inspected on 5 September 2026. No decision, procurement appointment, commencement or installed specification is established by this review.
3 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-05 · Official file index
Heat pumps, VRF and heat recovery are proposed
Proposed in application · Water-sports pavilion and café only
What the evidence says
The pavilion and café propose all-electric ASHP/VRF space heating and cooling, fan-coil units, dedicated heat-pump hot water with storage, and heat-recovery ventilation.
Water-sports pavilion and café only
Why it may matter — interpretation
Identifies an actual services package to follow through to detailed design.
What is not established
Central or local ventilation arrangements await detailed design. This is a planning strategy, not final BER or installation evidence.

Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
54 roof panels are proposed across the two buildings
Proposed in application · Water-sports pavilion roof and café roof only
What the evidence says
45 panels on the pavilion and 9 on the café give 54 panels, 108 m² and 21.6 kWp assuming 400 W per panel. The estimate is 16–20 MWh annually; no battery is proposed.
Water-sports pavilion roof and café roof only
Why it may matter — interpretation
Identifies the stated renewable-energy provision and its exact building scope.
What is not established
Panel efficiency and detailed electrical arrangements remain to be confirmed; this is proposed capacity, not generation measured on site.

The report specifies fabric-performance targets
Proposed in application · Conditioned building envelope of the pavilion and café
What the evidence says
Targets are 0.10 W/m²K for the floor, 0.12 for the roof, 0.13 for external walls and 1.2 for double glazing. The airtightness target is 3.0 m³/(h·m²) at 50 Pa.
Conditioned building envelope of the pavilion and café
Why it may matter — interpretation
Records design targets that can be checked against later approved construction details.
What is not established
These are design targets. Final product data, buildable details and testing have not been reviewed.

proposed U-values
A scoped SuDS design uses permeable surfaces and planted features
Proposed in application · Approximately 3.73 ha developed waterfront and marina catchment
What the evidence says
The waterfront/marina strategy combines permeable surfacing, rain gardens, bioretention and structural-cell tree pits. Existing lake outfalls require condition/capacity confirmation; non-return valves and hydrocarbon interceptors are proposed.
Approximately 3.73 ha developed waterfront and marina catchment
Why it may matter — interpretation
Identifies the proposed engineering approach and the limits of its assessed catchment.
What is not established
The 5.07 ha active-travel corridor is excluded from the hydraulic model and retains existing drainage. This review does not establish construction or agreed final drainage.

Additional estimated storage
Modelled and additional estimated storage are reported separately
Proposed in application · The waterfront/marina hydraulic assessment only
What the evidence says
The model includes about 1,470 m³ of storage; another 606 m³ is an additional estimate for tree pits and bioretention. They are not presented here as one verified modelled total.
The waterfront/marina hydraulic assessment only
Why it may matter — interpretation
Identifies the proposed engineering approach and the limits of its assessed catchment.
What is not established
The report requires further survey and detailed design. Its modelled discharge remains above the stated greenfield rate.

2700K lighting and dimming are proposed
Proposed in application · External lighting covered by the submitted report
What the evidence says
The draft specifies warm-white 2700 K LED luminaires, U23 dimming compatibility and optical shielding near sensitive areas.
External lighting covered by the submitted report
Why it may matter — interpretation
Identifies a named product or control requirement in the submitted design.
What is not established
The document is a design-development draft. No approved final lighting package or installed performance is established.

Remaining document questions
- Which later official decision, approved detail or revision changes these source-specific findings?
- Has a phase-specific official record established the selected equipment or installed specification?
Selected pages of 3 government-published PDFs were visually inspected. Three distinct official PDFs; selected technical and revision pages inspected, not all pages or all files. The complete official case index was freshly rechecked. Proposals do not establish procurement or installed work.
