This week the Lake District National Park was granted UNESCO World Heritage Status.

It joins an elite club that includes Hadrian's Wall, the historic centre of Vienna, the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks and the Statue of Liberty.

There are hopes that it will bring a massive economic boost to the area in terms of increased tourism and jobs.

But fears have also been raised that planning applications will be harder to get approved now that the area has the status.
