Q: Is Sherwood Energy Village the name of the site in Ollerton, or the organisation?
A: It is actually both the name of our site and the trading name of our organisation.
Q: So what is the Industrial and Provident Society? Is that something different?
A: An Industrial and Provident Society is the type of organisation that SEV is. Our registered name is Sherwood Environmental Village Ltd., but everybody knows us as Sherwood Energy Village.
Q: Is Sherwood Energy Village a charitable trust?
A: No. It is an Industrial and Provident Society for the benefit of the community. That is to say that surplus profit is applied to our regeneration aims and which play a vital role in enhancing the local economy.
Q: Are local authorities and other agencies involved as “partners” in the organisation?
A: No. The organisation elects its directors annually and all directors are share-holding members of the Society. Other organisations are not represented on the Board. This helps to ensure the integrity of the SEV vision.
Q: Are you selling off plots for self- build housing?
A: No. With 196 houses planned, the SEVille development has to work as a whole and this includes attention to spaces between houses as well, so individual plot development wouldn’t necessarily work through either design or time-scales.
