Crematoriums: Planning Permission
(asked on 20th May 2019) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many times Section 5 of the Cremation Act (1902) has been invoked to reject a planning application in each of the last 10 years.
This question was answered on 28th May 2019
The Ministry of Justice is defending an application for permission in judicial review by the owners of a proposed crematorium, challenging our decision not to appoint a medical referee to the crematorium while it remains in breach of the provisions of section 5 of the Cremation Act 1902. It would be inappropriate for Ministers to comment on issues relating to this matter during the course of litigation.
