"This new depot has been designed with sustainability in mind and will help power the site with clean energy. "It’s about delivering reliable waste collection services residents need while protecting the environment and helping nature thrive in the surrounding area." The plans were approved by Wealden District Council’s planning committee at a meeting yesterday. As part of the council’s sustainability goals, a solar panel array will be installed to supply electricity for the depot’s day-to-day operations. Details of the planning decision and further information about the scheme are available on Wealden District Council’s planning portal.
