A PLAN to double the size of Leyburn cemetery will go before Richmondshire District Council next week.
Proposals for the site in Wensley Road include closing the entry from the A684 and creating separate entry and exit roads.
The plans, submitted by Leyburn Town Council, are discussed by Richmondshire's environment committee on Tuesday.
Officers say although the site is outside defined development limits, a departure from the development plan is justified to meet the demand for more burial space.
If no objections are lodged by tomorrow, planners have recommended that the scheme be approved, subject to the details being finalised.
