A kitchen manufacturer based on a former RAF airfield in Norfolk has applied for retrospective planning permission for two biomass boilers installed at its factory in 2024.
Naked Kitchens, which operates from a hangar at the former RAF West Raynham base near Fakenham, says the boilers replaced two older units and burn timber offcuts generated during kitchen unit production.
According to a planning statement submitted by the company, one boiler heats water circulated to wall-mounted radiators and a ceiling-mounted space heater serving the factory's gluing area, while the second supplies hot water to radiators in the finishing room and taps in the workforce canteen.
The company says the system takes advantage of on-site waste wood to generate renewable heat, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting the number of lorry collections previously required to remove waste wood skips from the site.
