Draft Planning Committee Minutes 12 June 2026

This document contains the draft minutes from the Planning Committee meeting held by the Cairngorms National Park Authority on 12 June 2026. During the meeting, committee members decided to defer an application for a retrospective agricultural shed near Grantown-on-Spey, requesting a revised compensatory planting plan to address concerns about losing agricultural land and the felling of ancient woodland. They approved an application for 12 motorhome pitches at Ballater Golf Club, despite concerns about flood risk and objections from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, though this decision will be sent to Scottish Ministers for review. The committee also approved changes for a distillery at Spey Dam and a new mountain biking trail at The Lecht Ski Centre. The meeting wrapped up with an update on the Local Development Plan.
