A funeral directors has plans to open a new 17-acre cemetery in a Nottinghamshire village.
Independent funeral directors A.W. Lymn has submitted plans to Gedling Borough Council for its own cemetery.
It will be the first cemetery owned by the group.
A.W. Lymn hopes to develop land off George's Lane, Calverton, into a traditional, natural and woodland burial ground, complemented with a facilities building and a car park.
The site spans 27-acres, 17 of which will be used as burial space.
Pete Clarson, the commercial director at A.W. Lymn, said: “We plan to create a multi-functional cemetery capable of supporting a variety of burial options, respecting the character of the site’s rural context, and enhancing the potential of the site for wildlife.”
If planning permission is granted a visual screen will be built as a barrier between a golf course and residential buildings.
“This is the first cemetery the Lymn Rose family business will have owned, which is a significant step for us," Mr Clarson added.
"We’re continuously looking for ways we can expand our service offering to those in the region and this cemetery would allow exactly that.”
