Item 5 Appendix 3 - Comments 20250010DET River Dee

This document contains community council comments on a planning application, 2025/0010/DET, for upper Dee River and floodplain restoration at a site on the River Dee in Aberdeenshire. The comments are in support of the application, noting that the work aims to restore the river bank to its original level and allow the River Dee to connect more naturally to its floodplain. The community council also highlights discussions within the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) Dee Resilience Group about catchment level water management and asks that the planning authority ensures that "smoothing the flow" opportunities are not missed in this and future projects.
