Planning Permission
Planning permission is a critical factor in the development and expansion of funeral sector infrastructure, from new crematoria and cemeteries to funeral home refurbishments and memorial gardens. For UK funeral directors, service operators and sector suppliers, staying informed on planning outcomes is essential for business planning, regulatory compliance and community engagement. Funeral Service Times reports on relevant planning applications, approvals, appeals and rejections affecting funeral-related projects across the country. Our coverage supports professionals by providing insight into local authority decisions, public consultations, environmental considerations and the broader impact of planning developments on service provision.
