This document contains byelaw wording changes proposed and considered with subsequent amendments by the Cairngorms National Park Authority. The queries and suggestions are grouped by theme, addressing definitions of fireplaces and stoves, including whether they include portable items or those in vehicles. It also considers the definition of curtilage, the use of "avoidable damage", and the definition of "tenant". Further considerations include inconsistencies or potential ambiguity in terms like "land manager" and how different property types are referenced, as well as the use of gas versus disposable barbecues. The document also covers suggestions for wording related to fire raising and cigarettes, advice from Police Scotland regarding enforcement on private property, and the removal of the part about not having a fire or barbeque in own homes during times of high fire risk. Finally, it discusses the period for which the byelaw applies and suggestions for widening the offence of tending a fire and gathering additional information for enforcement.
