Formal board meeting - paper 3 - Partnership Plan annual update - 26 September 2025

This document contains an annual update on the National Park Partnership Plan (NPPP) for the Cairngorms National Park, prepared by Gavin Miles, Director of Planning and Place. The paper summarizes the progress made against the plan's objectives, using a Red, Amber, Green (RAG) rating system to assess performance in areas like Nature, People, and Place, noting where indicators show progress or where progress is expected in the future. It highlights successes like peatland restoration and securing investment for species conservation, while also acknowledging challenges such as maintaining the working-age population and increasing affordable housing, and the board is asked to note the progress summarized in the paper and associated annex 1.
