A new cemetery will created in a Nottinghamshire area where burial grounds are 'nearly full'. The new cemetery will be created on greenbelt land off George's Lane, Calverton as well as a facilities building and car park, after plans were approved by Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on July 28.
The plan was put forward by funeral directors A.W. Lymn, who are a family-business based in Nottinghamshire. The site spans 27-acres, 17 of which will be used as burial space, along with a visual screen of native trees and shrubs that will be planted as a barrier between the cemetery and the local golf course and residential buildings.
Matthew Lymn Rose, managing director of A.W. Lymn, said: "There is an issue with burial space in particular in Gedling borough, the cemetery at Redhill is very nearly full, the cemetery at Gedling is getting full. For the residents of Gedling borough burial space is getting limited.
