Plans to transform a Lichfield farmhouse into an office for a funeral director have been rejected.
An application was submitted to Lichfield District Council for the property at Springhill Farm.
However, planning chiefs rejected the proposal claiming such a development would not be suitable for a residential area.
The office had been earmarked to support the planned Springhill Cemetery at Muckley Corner.
But in their decision notice, Lichfield District Council said: “The proposed change of use would introduce a town centre use to an isolated rural location.”
Full details of the proposals can be seen on Lichfield District Council’s planning website.
