Tender: Danby Lodge Overflow Car Park – Reinforced Permeable Surfacing and Groundworks (North York Moors)

About

North York Moors National Park Authority is seeking a contractor to improve the existing Danby Lodge overflow car park by installing a reinforced, permeable hardstanding surface for year‑round use and providing approximately 60 parking spaces within the current footprint. The scheme uses a permeable cellular reinforcement system with a stone-filled finish to create a durable, weather-resistant surface that retains a natural appearance and minimises visual and environmental impact. Surface water will continue to be managed through the existing drainage infrastructure with runoff directed into the French drain network installed during earlier works, and the permeable surfacing will help reduce ground disturbance compared with the current grassed area. The design has been developed to avoid impact on the buried ground source heating pipe network by constructing the reinforced surface above it, and the successful contractor will work closely with the Authority's woodland and ecology officers to deliver the approved plan.
