Pro­posed devel­op­ment at 6 Glen­shee Road, Braemar

From Rob Kennedy Date Thu 16/07/2026 18:47 To Plan­ning Planning@​cairngorms.​co.​uk

As a mem­ber of Aber­deen­shire South Access Pan­el, it was pleas­ing to see that archi­tects EMA appear to have respon­ded pos­it­ively to a call from us that in four plans pro­posed of the new devel­op­ment, more atten­tion should be paid in the lay­out and design of bed­rooms and bath­rooms and toi­lets for those with a dis­ab­il­ity. More sig­ni­fic­antly, EMA have agreed to look at the pos­sib­il­ity of provid­ing a wheel­chair flat in the devel­op­ment. This sug­gests to me there could be a case for at least two dis­abled flats out of 12 with a need to have new dis­abled park­ing in close prox­im­ity. It is also argu­able that intro­duc­tion of more dis­ab­il­ity cov­er­age could allow more fam­il­ies from a wide area to stay at the same hol­i­day des­tin­a­tion without dis­abled feel­ing a bit aban­doned back at home! Those who feel this is not fin­an­cially it would be sur­prised by the level of cash in the ​“Old­ster” population!
