PLANS to create a new footpath within the churchyard at St Anthony's Church, amid open countryside on Cartmel Fell, have been approved by the Lake District National Park Authority's development control committee.
The Parochial Church Council plans to resurface the existing footpaths through the churchyard, a medieval burial ground, and to create a new path linking the churchyard extension with the existing footpaths.
In a report, planning officer Nick Thompson said the new footpath would "weave between existing graves and gravestones" by necessity. Coun Peter Jackson asked for the paths to be surfaced with washed gravel.
