Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 23:27 · Archive
A 60-day temporary campsite at Low Hollows, Threlkeld, Keswick has been approved by Lake District national park planners.
The Lake District national park authority has approved plans for a 60-day temporary recreational campsite at Low Hollows, Threlkeld, Keswick. No prior approval was required for the development to proceed under planning regulations.
The site comprises three fields, including two located to the north and south of Low Hollows. The land is agricultural land owned and managed by Mr G Teasdale and has previously hosted a pop-up campsite during 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The location sits within the catchment of the River Derwent and Bassenthwaite Lake Special Area of Conservation as identified by Natural England. An underground 20,000 litre cesspool has been installed for use with campsite facilities, built in accordance with previous planning approval.
According to the decision letter, waste from the toilet and shower facilities will be directed to the underground cesspool, which was designed and installed to store wastewater. The wastewater will then be collected and disposed of by a registered waste contractor.
Planners determined that the cesspool arrangement is not likely to have a significant effect on the Special Area of Conservation site.
