Planning application
2025/1246/RG3
Cemetery High Street Morcott Rutland LE15 9DN
Proposal
Retrospective reduction in height of cemetery wall which boundaries the closed cemetery and access road from the highway to open section of the cemetery. The condition of the wall had deteriorated significantly and the emergency demolition was to make the wall safe. Height has been reduced to approximately 800 - 1000mm in height, for the entire length. Saddle back coping stones have not been re-instated. Materials have been retained and stored within the closed cemetery section for potential re-use.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
