Item 4 - Nethy housing committee report 20250034DET

This document contains a committee report regarding a proposed residential development of 35 units, including an access road and Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS), south of Lynstock Park in Nethy Bridge. The application seeks full planning permission and is supported by various documents, including habitat surveys, a flood risk assessment, and a pre-application consultation report. While the site is partially allocated for residential development, the proposal includes an area outside the designated settlement boundary, which is considered a departure from policy. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) is recommending approval of the application, subject to conditions and a legal agreement to secure developer obligations, including community facility contributions and affordable housing delivery on an alternative site. The document details various consultations, representations, and appraisals, considering the development's impact on landscape, biodiversity, drainage, cultural heritage, and local community.
