Huge new car park planned for National Trust park just outside Greater Manchester
30.03.2023 - 11:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Plans have been lodged to build a huge new car park with more than 1,000 spaces at a popular national park just outside Greater Manchester. A planning application has been submitted by Land Studio Ltd, working with the National Trust, to relocate the car park at Lyme Park and to improve access and facilities for visitors.
The current car park is situated close to the hall and connected gardens which is accessible after a mile-long drive from the entrance off the A6. It currently holds 400 spaces available all year round, plus an overspill, with the relocation plans looking to increase this capacity to 1,065.
The new car park would be situated to the west away from the hall in an area known as 'The Knott' which is the park's former Dressage area. The area is currently a mixture of grassland and moorland.

A planning statement says a new car park is needed to accommodate the 'enormous pressure' of more than 330,000 visitors that come to the park each year, which continues to grow. The developers also believe that the current car park's location 'detracts' the history of the hall and creates a lack of 'cohesion within the landscape'.
They add that the changes would give 'a fresh look at how the future requirements for the estate can be met'. As well as the new car park, the development would look to create a new hall and garden entrance, reinstate the current car park as parkland, a drop-off and parking area for coaches, and improved planting that 'visually connects existing parkland clumps to further screen views, particularly from the south'.
