LP40: Burial Space

The Council will protect existing and support additional land to be used for burial space where:

  • There is an identifed need for the space;
  • It would not harm the amenity of nearby residents;
  • The quality of water resources and the landscape is maintained;
  • It would not impede the safe and efcient functioning of the public highway; and
  • Associated built facilities are of compatible design and scale with their surroundings.

Implementation

The Council will work with the religious community to inform future burial provision and will work with partners such as the City of London who manage existing burial sites in the borough and wider region.
