The Com­mit­tee were invited to ask for clar­ity, and the fol­low­ing points were raised: a) A Mem­ber sought clar­ity on wheth­er con­cerns raised by the High­land Coun­cil Tree Officer had been addressed. The Head of Stra­tegic Plan­ning respon­ded that con­di­tions were pro­posed to address the con­cerns raised. b) A Mem­ber asked for cla­ri­fic­a­tion of con­di­tion 10. The Head of Stra­tegic Plan­ning respon­ded that the con­di­tion was mod­i­fied to reflect to the cor­rect time for the osprey breed­ing sea­son. c) Clar­ity was giv­en on changes to the Aviemore orbit­al path with­in the site. d) Mem­bers asked for clar­ity on where the new play park would be loc­ated and how it would be delivered.

The fol­low­ing point was raised: a) A Mem­ber asked what evid­ence there was that the site was used for inform­al recre­ation and evid­ence of the min­ing bee spe­cies. Tessa Jones respon­ded that the well-estab­lished orbit­al route ran through the site. She added that while there had not been a bee sur­vey car­ried out at the site, it is very sim­il­ar hab­it­at to one found a mile north where there was a thriv­ing pop­u­la­tion. The Head of Stra­tegic con­firmed that a con­di­tion requir­ing an appro­pri­ate seed mix for grass­land areas was inten­ded to sup­port that hab­it­at for min­ing bees.

Oth­er Mem­bers raised that this is already a highly dis­turbed space through recreation.
