Controversial plans for a second crematorium in Fenland are set to be rejected again, despite a town council’s support. Plans for a crematorium in Fenton Way, Chatteris, were originally granted by councillors in 2009 against the will of planning officers.

As a result Memoria Crematoria’s application is undetermined and will be considered again at tomorrow’s meeting of the council’s planning committee.
