Peak District’s 18th century bridge on proposed route for 16-mile underground water pipeline
A proposed underground water pipeline in the Peak District would pass close to, or potentially affect, an 18th-century bridge. The proposal matters because it would combine new water infrastructure with the need to protect a historic feature in a nationally important landscape.
The scheme is described as a 16-mile pipeline overall, with 12.7km of the route within the Peak District. The available information does not state the bridge’s name, the exact nature of any impact, or whether planning permission has been sought.
- Proposed water pipeline could affect an 18th-century Peak District bridge
