A change of use application has been lodged for an agricultural silage field at New Farm in Lee, near Ellesmere, that would see the 0.9-hectare site turned into a natural burial ground.

If successful, a small car park would also be built on the site, providing spaces for a hearse, limo and two family cars, as well as six additional vehicles, two disabled spaces and six cycle racks.
