PLANS to replace the roof of the Gwent Crematorium have been lodged with Torfaen Borough Council.
The application has been made by property services firm Newport Norse which is a joint venture between Newport City Council and Norse Commercial Services part of the Norse Group owned by Norfolk County Council.
It has already been given planning permission to add solar panels to the roof of the crematorium in Treherbert Road, Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran.
It has now asked Torfaen Borough Council for full planning permission for a replacement roof for the main chapel which will involve replacing clay rosemary tiles with Alumasc Metal Airtiles.
Newport City Council is responsible for the crematorium which is in the Torfaen Borough Council local authority area and its planning department is considering the application.
