A proposed 150-space car park at Ullock Moss near Portinscale, aimed at reducing traffic congestion around Catbells in the Lake District, is set for review by the Lake District National Park Authority in November 2025.
Submitted by the Lingholm Private Trust, the plan includes an amenities building and a shuttle service to Cupboard Field car park, marking the third attempt after prior rejections.
Opponents, including conservation groups and Above Derwent Parish Council, argue declining visitor numbers and existing temporary solutions make the project unnecessary and potentially harmful.

The LDNPA maintains Catbells is one of nine high-priority sites needing urgent parking solutions, asserting the proposal aligns with its statutory duties.
The decision is expected by November 5.
