Danby Lodge overflow car park construction and groundworks

Bidding

The North York Moors National Park Authority has undertaken a number of significant improvements at Danby Lodge in recent years as part of a wider strategy to enhance the site as a flagship visitor destination and support the Authority's second statutory purpose of promoting opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the National Park. To support these improvements and accommodate increasing visitor demand, the Authority is seeking to improve the existing overflow car park through the installation of a reinforced hardstanding surface capable of year-round use. The proposal will provide approximately 60 parking spaces within the footprint of the existing overflow parking area, which has been used for many years during periods of high visitor demand and to support events hosted at Danby Lodge. The development will utilise a permeable cellular reinforcement system with a stone-filled finish, creating a durable, weather-resistant surface whilst retaining a natural appearance appropriate to its National Park setting. The design has been developed to minimise visual impact and protect surrounding environmental interests. Surface water will continue to be managed through the existing drainage infrastructure, with runoff directed into the French drain network installed as part of previous site improvement works. The permeable nature of the proposed surfacing will assist with drainage and reduce ground disturbance associated with the current grassed surface. The proposed works have also been designed to avoid any impact on the existing ground source heating infrastructure located beneath the site. The reinforced surface will be constructed above the buried ground source pipe network, ensuring the continued operation and protection of this renewable energy system. The successful contractor will be expecting to work closely with our woodland and ecology Officers to ensure that approved plan is carried out as approved
