A SCHEME to extend an Anglesey cemetery has been rejected by planners amid concerns over a “risk” to water quality.
A full planning application had been made by Amlwch Town Council over a change of use of agricultural land to extend the burial ground at Amlwch.
The burial ground had been in use since around 1867. Figures held for the cemetery, dated from 2020, had noted 5,538 graves, and that there were around 30 burials a year.
