Rudby Burial Ground Extension Project
The origins of the Burial Ground Extension project can be traced to the 1999 Village Design Statement which stated in policy CG5 that "Provision must be made within the next 10 years for additional burial ground space." While the need for additional space turned out to be less urgent than thought in 1999, the burial ground is now nearly full and more space will be needed within a few years. A Parish Council project is in progress to deliver the extra space for the Parish.

In 2015 the Parish Council identifed an opportunity to purchase land adjacent to the burial ground, and intiated a project to purchase and develop the site. In January 2016 the Parish Council allocated funds for a potential purchase of the additional land, entered into negotiations with the owner and applied for planning permission for the land outlined in red in the plan shown above. After successfully obtaining planning permission on 22 June 2016, the Parish Council completed on the purchase and began developing the site for use as a burial ground. Works carried our so far includes drainage works, erection of a perimeter fence, and grading the surface. Further work which will be carried out over the next few years includes additional drainage works, regrading to make good any settlement of the site, seeding with grass, and planting of perimeter hedging. Repairs to the boundary wall of the existing burial ground will be included in the project scope. This will create more space for cremation internment plots The extension will be consecrated before being brought into use. |
