This document contains a Habitats Regulations Appraisal for a proposed housing development of 20 houses and associated infrastructure at Craigmore Road, Nethy Bridge. The appraisal, reference number 2020/0064/PPP, assesses the potential impact of the development on several European sites, including the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and several Special Protection Areas (SPAs) like Abernethy Forest, Anagach Woods, and Cairngorms. The appraisal considers potential effects on species like the capercaillie, otter, Atlantic salmon, and freshwater pearl mussel, focusing on disturbances, habitat loss, and pollution. While some conservation objectives can be maintained, the assessment identifies likely significant effects on the River Spey SAC, particularly concerning otters, Atlantic salmon, sea lamprey, and freshwater pearl mussels, requiring mitigation measures to ensure conservation objectives are met and there is no adverse effect on the site's integrity. These measures include pollution and siltation control during construction, as well as implementation of a Sustainable Urban Drainage Scheme (SUDS).

This document contains objections to a planning application (reference number 2020/0064/PPP) for residential development of up to 20 houses on land at School Road and Craigmore Road in Nethy Bridge, within the Cairngorms National Park. The objections are based on concerns about the loss of irreplaceable ancient woodland, the negative impact on biodiversity and protected species such as capercaillie and otters, the inadequacy of the ecological surveys undertaken, the conflict with the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) Local Development Plan (LDP) policies, and the lack of opportunity for proper public scrutiny due to Covid-19 restrictions. Objectors also highlight the potential impact on the character of Nethy Bridge, the increase in traffic, and the concerns about building on a site used for informal recreation, and the compensatory planting proposals. Several objectors claim that the site should be protected and that there are better sites available for such housing.

This document contains comments for planning application 2020/0064/PPP, regarding a residential development of up to 20 houses on land at School Road and Craigmore Road, Nethy Bridge. The comments are from a member of the public, Mr Douglas Mckenzie, who supports the application.

This document contains the Nethy Bridge and Vicinity Community Council's comments on planning application 20/0064/PPP, regarding land at School Road and Craigmore Road in Nethy Bridge, submitted on 5 March 2020. The Community Council restates its qualified support for the development, asking that it be carried out sensitively, with houses built in cleared spaces among the trees to preserve them. They also wish for the existing belt of trees next to the road to be retained. While they welcome the offer of land near the Nethy Bridge Hotel to the community, they would prefer compensatory planting not to take place there, but rather on the fringes. They would also welcome a donation of the forest adjacent to the Nethy Bridge golf course for the benefit of the village.

Another objector, Dr Leith Penny, raises concerns about the insufficient planting barrier, sewage system capacity, and the lack of a landscape management plan. Dr Dewi Owens objects to the cementitious cladding, the height of the houses, the disruption of wildlife habitat, and the consideration of a second phase of development.

This document contains the Community Council's comments on planning application 2020/0111/DET for a 40-unit housing development in Kincraig. The Community Council objects to the application because Kincraig is a small village that lacks the infrastructure to support 70+ new houses. The Community Council also points out the lack of a train station and limited bus service, the fact that Alvie Primary School is at full capacity, and the high proportion of holiday homes, meaning that there is a need for affordable homes and rentals. Finally, the Community Council notes that the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) requirement for affordable homes is not met by this development.

The Park Authority reviewed the application, considering its potential impact on the landscape and special qualities of the National Park. The Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) provided advice, leading to the Park Authority's recommendation of no objection, as significant adverse effects on the park's landscape or special qualities are not expected.
