In addition, the council wants to install a thermal heat storage system to help heat ancillary buildings at Lawnswood.
A decision on the plans is expected this month, and if approved, Leeds Parks and Countryside will take the lead role to implement the equipment. The move comes as councils across the country come under pressure to create more environmentally-friendly funeral services. With burials plots at a premium, it is more likely that increasing number of families will turn to cremation.Earlier this year emergency plans were drawn up to expand the cemetery at Cottingley by an additional 120 plots, with space close to running out.
“It was very important to us that the plans recognised the need for the extension to be a calm and restful place and we think they reflect that.”
