Approved Planning Minutes - 23 January 2026

This document contains the minutes from the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Planning Committee meeting held on 23 January 2026. During the meeting, members approved the minutes from the previous meeting and confirmed no declarations of interest. The main discussion focused on an application for detailed planning permission to extend Invercauld Caravan Park, which included plans for 18 motorhome pitches, six static caravan pitches, a timber boardwalk, and landscaping. The committee discussed various points, such as waste disposal, electric vehicle charging, disabled access, and the planting of aspen trees. After addressing concerns, particularly regarding the need for a residency clause to ensure the caravans are used for holiday accommodation rather than permanent homes, the committee approved the application with the recommended conditions, including the new residency clause. An update was also given on a previous planning application for Laurel Bank, Aviemore, which has now received permission from Scottish Ministers. The meeting concluded with the next meeting scheduled for 13 March 2026.
