PLANS to extend a Flintshire graveyard have been withdrawn.

A planning application received by Flintshire Council in April requested permission to change the use of a piece of land at St Eurgain and St Peters Church in Church Road, Northop, in order to use it as extension to an existing graveyard.

The application form states the proposed site is currently agricultural land and was most recently used for pony grazing.

According to Flintshire Council the proposals were withdrawn earlier this week.
