Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to demolish a
£1.8m 50-year-old cottage to build a Scandinavian-style eco-pad'
in Knutsford in Cheshire.
The five-bedroom environmentally friendly house was designed by
Manchester company Indigo and will be a glass and timber
construction in render and stone with a slate roof.
Blueprints show plans to use ground source heat pumps and solar
power to warm the pool, low volume flush systems on the toilets and
heavy natural insulation. The plans were lodged with Macclesfield
council after Solksjaer bought the property in August but the
council is yet to approve or reject the application.
Norwegian Solskjaer, who retired from playing in August, has also
included a games room and the option to add a detached swimming
pool building in his plans.
