200306 CNPA Bd Paper A9 Dalraddy Slochd Obj

This document contains a proposal from Transport Scotland to create a non-motorised route between Aviemore and Carrbridge. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) initially objected to the A9 Dalraddy to Slochd road project due to concerns that the planned non-motorised user routes didn't meet active travel objectives, comply with Transport Scotland’s strategy, or promote tourism. However, following a new proposal from Transport Scotland to fund a separate, improved non-motorised route, the CNPA is recommending that its objection to the A9 project be withdrawn, as the new route addresses their original concerns. If approved, the CNPA will inform Transport Scotland and the Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals (DPEA) of their decision.
