PLANS have been drawn up for land in Hopwas to be used to expand a cemetery.

The proposals have been put forward for the plot next to St Chads Church on Church Drive.

A planning statement said the current burial ground had reached full capacity.

It added:

> “It is proposed to expand the churchyard and cemetery onto land within the church’s ownership immediately to the west.  
>  
> “The land was originally set aside by the Diocese of Lichfield for future use as a churchyard for burials.  
>  
> “The expanded cemetery will be accessed via the existing churchyard.”
