Com­ments for Plan­ning Applic­a­tion 2026/0135/DET

Applic­a­tion Summary Applic­a­tion Num­ber: 2026/0135/DET Address: Land 284M East Of Cairngorm Moun­tain Glen­more Aviemore Pro­pos­al: Pro­posed moun­tain tobog­gan track and asso­ci­ated struc­tures, build­ings, plat­forms, land­scap­ing and infra­struc­ture works Case Officer: Heath­er Boswell

Cus­tom­er Details Name: Mr Peter Long Address:

Com­ment Details Com­menter Type: Com­munity Coun­cil Stance: Cus­tom­er made com­ments in sup­port of the Plan­ning Application

Com­ment Reasons: Com­ment: Aviemore and Vicin­ity Com­munity Coun­cil sup­ports this applic­a­tion, and recog­nises its poten­tial bene­fits in devel­op­ing Cairngorm Moun­tain as a year round vis­it­or des­tin­a­tion. The CC does have some ques­tions regard­ing the oper­a­tion and man­age­ment of the pro­posed devel­op­ment. In par­tic­u­lar there appears to be a poten­tial risk to oth­er hill users where the track is close to the exist­ing path, with the pos­sib­il­ity of chil­dren or off-leash dogs get­ting too close. There also seems to be a risk of col­li­sion with wild­life — in par­tic­u­lar the reindeer herd — and we would wel­come cla­ri­fic­a­tion of the man­age­ment arrange­ments inten­ded to mit­ig­ate these risks.

Good Morn­ing Emma

Please accept our apo­lo­gies for the delay in respond­ing to the con­sulta­tion, I have had time to read all the addi­tion­al doc­u­ment­a­tion sub­mit­ted and can con­firm in rela­tion to the areas quer­ied in our sup­port state­ment pre­vi­ously the areas of addi­tion­al inform­a­tion sup­plied are sat­is­fact­ory and answer those issues. I would like to take this oppor­tun­ity to request to speak in sup­port of the applic­a­tion when this comes to the plan­ning committee.

Many thanks
