Draft PL Minutes 23 January 2026

This document contains the draft minutes from the Planning Committee meeting of the Cairngorms National Park Authority held on 23 January 2026. During the meeting, members approved the minutes from their previous gathering and then focused on an application for detailed planning permission. This application, submitted for Invercauld Caravan Park, proposed extending the site to include 18 motorhome pitches and 6 static caravan pitches, along with a timber boardwalk and landscaping. After careful discussion, covering points such as waste disposal capacity, electric vehicle charging, and disabled access, the Committee approved the application. A key condition added to the approval was a residency clause, ensuring that the new caravan pitches would be used exclusively for holiday accommodation, which helps to support tourism and address local housing needs. The meeting also included an update that planning permission for Laurel Bank, Aviemore, had been issued by Scottish Ministers.
