NIMBYISM - how to stir it up

[anonymous-user]

Dead easy, just apply for planning permission to build a crematorium

This Ryedale planning application

20/01195/MFUL | Erection of crematorium with associated access, parking, memorial gardens and landscaping | Land West Of Gravel Pit Farm Sand Hutton To Black Dike Plantation Sand Hutton Malton YO41 1LW

has generated some tremendously long and detailed objection letters from locals

Some of the objections cite the negative effect on mental health of residents being reminded of mortality by corteges passing their house so frequently!

To be fair, given the average age of Rydale residents, being reminded of what's just round the corner is probably quite stressful.
