Timescales

Plans to build an Eco Park at Charlton Lane, Shepperton were considered again by the Surrey County Council Planning and Regulatory Committee on 9 March 2012. The committee agreed to permit the development, subject to conditions.

The Eco Park will help Surrey towards achieving its long-term aim to eliminate the use of landfill, which costs the county £600,000 every month in taxes alone. It will deal with 40,000 tonnes of food waste and 60,000 tonnes of household rubbish a year in an environmentally friendly way, as well as generating enough electricity to power thousands of homes.

A timeline for the construction of the Eco Park will now be developed and further details will be provided when available.
