Approved Planning Minutes - 14 November 2025

This document contains the minutes from the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Planning Committee Meeting on 14 November 2025. The Committee approved the minutes from their previous meeting and received updates on outstanding actions. They then approved an application to realign 400 metres of the River Tromie, subject to certain conditions, with discussions leading to suggestions for integrating economic and agricultural impact assessments into future planning policies. Two applications for the retrospective upgrade of forestry tracks, one near Loch Beun and another near Aucherteang, were also approved with conditions, including an additional one for the latter to secure the relocation of a pedestrian gate. The meeting concluded with an update on the Coire Mashie sub-station, where Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks identified 'Option 1' as the preferred site for the Loch Earba pumped hydro storage scheme, with formal pre-application consultation expected in Spring 2026.
