We’re proud to announce that The CDS Group has secured planning permission for the refurbishment of Astwood Crematorium on behalf of Worcester City Council.
This comprehensive project includes the replacement of 3 ageing gas cremators with 2 electric cremators, enhancing sustainability and efficiency.
Our team presented the scheme at the planning committee, addressing key questions on:
• Electric cremators & crematory equipment
• Filtration systems
• Heat recovery
• Solar panel integration
The CDS team provided valuable insight with their technical knowledge of electric cremators to committee members and despite the challenges of working within the constraints of a 1960’s building, this well-considered crematorium refurbishment proposal received unanimous approval.
CDS will now continue to lead the technical design phase, with construction scheduled to commence in late August.
This project is a major step forward in the shift toward low-carbon cremation technologies.
