The Lake District National Park (LDNP) recently advertised a number of properties for sale, including Stickle Tarn, as part of an ongoing sales and acquisitions review.
The LDNP writes that this is:
… to make sure our properties are managed effectively within the current financial climate.
In line with this, and following consultation, we have agreed that the sites advertised are no longer required for our property needs and are suitable for sale by formal tender. We have put measures in place to ensure the responsible disposal of these properties, all of which are subject to the planning framework of the Lake District National Park.
We have safeguarded and strengthened public access where it already exists and included other special conditions to protect the special qualities.
The proceeds of any property sales will be reinvested into improving or maintaining other National Park properties we own. This work is in support of the agreed vision and plan set out with our partners to jointly manage the National Park.
Lake District National Park currently owns or manages nearly 9,000 hectares of land within the National Park, comprising about four per cent of the total land area.
