The Outlet Village has fully pedestrianised streets and will be made up of several large buildings, each containing many self-contained retail units. The village is being constructed with the environment in mind and during construction the contractor will be monitoring both water consumption and waste, including carbon dioxide. Sustainable materials are to be used and Mott MacDonald has also specified materials with high insulation values to reduce life time energy consumption.
