The CDS Group have an outstanding record in achieving a successful planning outcome, having undertaken all the components of the planning process on over 40 cemetery extensions/new cemetery planning applications across the UK and into the development phase. Our cemetery design and planning team combines your concepts, the recommendations of our in-house designers, the feasibility and regulations for every project.
Any new cemetery or extension to an existing cemetery requires planning approval and many levels of assessment to support an application. The level and degree of studies will be dependent, in part, on the sensitivity of the site (e.g. green belt or areas of significant environmental or historic value).
CDS has many years’ experience in cemetery design, planning and delivery and can provide a full planning application service that comprehensively covers all of the elements required for the development of a cemetery.
Every project begins with a feasibility study to identify the issues we may encounter during the build. In most cases, CDS starts with a pre-application meeting or report with planners. From this, a detailed and costed framework for the required studies is provided. This ensures the development is managed meticulously and cost efficiently from start to finish.
In addition to identifying the estimated cost of development, we create schedules and timescales to ensure the timely completion of your project. The project design includes structural engineering and construction notes for operational clarity. We also apply for planning permissions and building regulation approvals if necessary.
Listed below is a schedule of studies, reports and assessments that are typically required for a cemetery extension or new cemetery site. Working with CDS you can rest assured that CDS will cover every element required by the planning regulations. All you have to do is share your design ideas and concepts. Our team will then ensure these will meet your standards as well as local and national regulations.
