This document contains the final decision of the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO) regarding a complaint about the Cairngorms National Park Authority. The complaint involved several allegations of unreasonable actions by the Authority concerning a planning application (2016/0060/DET), including misleading information, unreasonable time pressure on the planning committee, contravening planning guidance, unreasonable discharge of a planning condition, and failure to enforce planning conditions. The SPSO investigated, reviewing documentation and seeking independent planning advice. The Ombudsman found that none of the complaints were upheld.
