Consultation

We have already had pre-planning discussions with planning officers and their design board, to ensure the facility aligns with the vision of the adopted and emerging Local Plan.

We have carried out a public consultation to raise awareness of the proposals. The consultation gave local residents and stakeholders an opportunity to share their views.

We held an in-person consultation session on Thursday 27 August 2026.

An online survey was available from Friday 21 August until Friday 4 September 2026.

Following the consultation, we will review and evaluate all comments received and prepare to submit a planning application.

The planning application will be subject to our formal planning process, providing a further opportunity for public comment.

Comments or feedback you provided as part of this consultation were shared with our appointed consultants . This allows our appointed consultants to:

• develop and considering the proposed cemetery and crematorium scheme

• inform any subsequent planning application

Your personal information will be processed in accordance with our privacy policy, which explains how we collect, use, store and protect your information.
