Peak District to be returned to its former glory

Posted by Linda Davidson


Owners of camper-van acessories and apparatus are likely to be pleased to learn of plans to clear areas of the Peak District.


The Peak District National Park's planning service has authorised action to remove a temporary structure fashioned from wooden pallets at Summer Hill Farm, near the Roaches, a popular beauty spot for tourists.


John Herbert, chair of the Peak District National Park Authority's planning committee, said that the area offers dramatic panoramic views of the remote park moorland.


He added that the committee had to take urgent action to address the blight on the landscape and the threat to the sensitive ecology of the moorland posed by the unauthorised building.


"It is not acceptable for the visual beauty of this area to be damaged in this way and we are determined to pursue this case until the land is fully restored," Mr Herbert explained.


The Official Tourist Board of the Peak District and Derbyshire said that the area has a lot to offer those with camper-van acessories and apparatus from "rugged moorland to rolling hills and dales and lush meadows to leafy forests".
