National Trust property Lyme has just announced that the planning application it made nearly a year ago to relocate and massively expand its car parking will be withdrawn.
The National Trust’s Lyme Park, on the Cheshire edge of the Peak District, caused over 2 miles of queuing traffic on the A6 this Sunday morning — not for the first time.
