Car park improvements

View the planning consent for works at Harlaw car park; planning application 20/05137/FUL was submitted on 23/11/2020, with confirmation received on 23 February 2022.

The car park has been restructured and expanded to create a total capacity within the formal car park (excluding the access track) of 50 spaces, four electric charging bays and five blue badge spaces. The one-way system has been formalised to manage traffic flow, signage has been installed, and a car park charging system will be introduced. In order to promote and facilitate sustainable travel methods, we have installed bike stands, a public bike pump and repair station, and two EV charging points.

Two toilets have been installed at Harlaw car park, which are unisex and accessible. The provision of toilet facilities will help to mitigate the impact of outdoor toileting at this hot spot, popular with recreational users including anglers and “wild” campers, and enhance the visitor experience.

There are two phases to the work in Harlaw: the main car park and the access track.
