A new green graveyard has been given the go-ahead.
Plans to transform a plot of land called Warren Plantation in Warren Road, Woodingdean, into a site for up to 1,800 graves have been agreed by Brighton and Hove City Council The decision was taken as there are no spaces left at the city’s original woodland burial site in Bear Road, Brighton.
The 2.5 acre site will be managed to benefit wildlife.
Trees will be planted to mark graves and no horticultural chemicals are used to control weeds and grass.
It is expected to open in the summer.
