The officers serving the Joint Committee have reviewed and revisited the previous development plan approved in March 2023. The Joint Committee has previously agreed the Plan should be reviewed at 2 yearly intervals.

In undertaking this review attention has again focussed on matters of an on-going nature as well as those to which the Joint Committee may need to give future consideration.

This plan seeks to indicate the continuing and future intentions of the Joint Committee and thereby guide both the management of the crematorium function and future policy decisions that may be required.

RECOMMENDED

(1) that the Portchester Crematorium Joint Committee Development Management Plan 2025 - 2030 be approved and adopted.
