2019/0011/MSC & 2019/0042/MSC (AFFORD­ABLE HOUSING)

REP­RES­ENT­A­TIONS — I GEN­ER­AL 7 OBJECTION

From:Eric Sent: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:38:46 +0000 To:Planning Subject:2019/0011/MSC Hous­ing land north west Dal­faber. With regards to the above plan­ning applic­a­tion I would like to make the fol­low­ing obser­va­tions- From the avail­able draw­ings it is not pos­sible to tell what prop­er­ties are actu­ally pro­posed for each plot. Plot 75, which is adja­cent to our home, appears much lar­ger than neigh­bour­ing build­ings. I can only sur­mise that this would be a four plex or sim­il­ar. This prop­erty is ori­ented in such a way that this would be look­ing dir­ectly into our kit­chen and liv­ing room and our garden, hav­ing a very major impact on our pri­vacy. This would not be the case if it were a single storey build­ing. I also recol­lect that the ini­tial applic­a­tion showed afford­able hous­ing being alloc­ated to land to the South of the farm­house and in the North West corner of the devel­op­ment, this applic­a­tion appears to be a depar­ture from that plan. This applic­a­tion gives no details as to the pro­posed con­struc­tion of the houses. Our home is a tra­di­tion­al tim­ber and lath cot­tage with a cor­rug­ated tin roof, one of the last remain­ing in the area. This was high­lighted in the Parks ini­tial reports into this devel­op­ment, I would seek reas­sur­ances that this devel­op­ment would be sym­path­et­ic to exist­ing prop­er­ties. There does not appear to be any detail as to what infra­struc­ture is to be put in place to sup­port this devel­op­ment, and I hope this will be vig­or­ously addressed before any approv­al is giv­en to this applic­a­tion. Thank­ing you for your con­sid­er­a­tion in this mat­ter. Eric and Alis­on Shar­key. Sent from my iPad

Com­ment Details Com­menter Type: Neigh­bour Stance: Cus­tom­er objects to the Plan­ning Applic­a­tion Com­ment Reas­ons: Comment:In rela­tion to plot75, which is dir­ectly oppos­ite our house; whilst there are no details giv­en in the applic­a­tion from view­ing the plans this plot seems much lar­ger than adja­cent plots and I can only assume that this would be a 4plex or lar­ger. The front of this build­ing is look­ing dir­ectly into our kit­chen and liv­ing room and it would be extremely intrus­ive and would cause a massive reduc­tion of our pri­vacy, a single storey build­ing would not have this effect. We have no details of the con­struc­tion of these prop­er­ties. Our home is a one and a half storey tra­di­tion­al cot­tage built with tim­ber and lath with a cor­rug­ated tin roof. We are one of the few exist­ing tra­di­tion­al cot­tages left in the Nation­al park and high­lands. Access to our house is by a single track farm track, we are very con­cerned about access to our house by us and emer­gency ser­vices dur­ing the con­struc­tion phase. This devel­op­ment will massively increase the volume of traffic and traffic noise in the area. There does not appear to be any men­tion of infra­struc­ture in rela­tion to this development.

Com­ment Details Com­menter Type: Neigh­bour Stance: Cus­tom­er objects to the Plan­ning Applic­a­tion Com­ment Reas­ons: Comment:Whilst I appre­ci­ate that afford­able hous­ing is and always will be needed the pro­posed loc­a­tion for this devel­op­ment of both afford­able and, by the look of the plans, rather extens­ive and expens­ive hous­ing, is, in my opin­ion wholly inap­pro­pri­ate. The pro­posed loc­a­tion for build­ing is a green space of nat­ur­al beauty and one of the few left with­in easy reach of the vil­lage. It is used by loc­al res­id­ents and vis­it­ors alike and as such con­trib­utes indir­ectly to the loc­al eco­nomy. More import­antly it abounds with wild­life from Roe Deer to Red Squir­rels, Cres­ted Tits and many oth­er spe­cies. I believe that this area must be pro­tec­ted for all the reas­ons lis­ted above and as such vehe­mently object to this application.

Com­ment Details Com­menter Type: Mem­ber of Pub­lic Stance: Cus­tom­er objects to the Plan­ning Applic­a­tion Com­ment Reas­ons: Comment:I wish to object to this applic­a­tion. This area of nat­ive wood­land is a haven for all sorts of wild­life includ­ing red squir­rels, badgers and much bird­life. It is also used extens­ively by loc­als who walk their dogs. I am at a loss to under­stand why areas like this, which are becom­ing rarer by the year, are not pro­tec­ted with­in a nation­al park. If you allow devel­op­ment on nat­ive wood­land hab­it­ats then the reas­on for so many people to vis­it and live in Aviemore will be lost.

Com­ment Details Com­menter Type: Neigh­bour Stance: Cus­tom­er objects to the Plan­ning Applic­a­tion Com­ment Reas­ons: Comment:I strongly object to this devel­op­ment. My young daugh­ter and I often play in these woods. We have built dens and ride our bikes here. My daugh­ter and her friends enjoy watch­ing the wild­life here. The nat­ive trees provide homes for many spe­cies of birds and anim­als we have wit­nessed. There are rab­bits and a fam­ily of deer as well as wood­peck­ers and owls. This area is also an access to the golf course for the chil­dren for sledging in the winter, it would be ter­rible for them to lose this. I walk my dog in these woods as do many oth­ers. The noise levels to neigh­bours and excess traffic would be very dis­turb­ing. This area would become a great risk to the safety of our chil­dren as traffic and heavy vehicles to the site would cause them danger when play­ing out in the woods and streets. This is a com­pletely unne­ces­sary devel­op­ment in my opinion.

Every­day I’m sur­prised and gladdened by the num­ber of folks that use these woods for exer­cise and find­ing some peace. I’m also heart warmed by the amount of wild­life that we see daily in the woods, from deer to a wide ver­ity of bird life to badgers and more. With the con­stant expan­sion of Aviemore over the years this is surely one small part that deserves pro­tec­tion. Its ease of access for so many people and the diversity of wild­life must give some just reas­on for sav­ing it for all to enjoy? At what point does liv­ing in a Nation­al Park actu­ally count for some­thing when look­ing to pro­tect what little nature and wild places we still have with­in the vil­lage area.

Com­ment Details Com­menter Type: Mem­ber of Pub­lic Stance: Cus­tom­er objects to the Plan­ning Applic­a­tion Com­ment Reas­ons: Comment:Having moved to the area due to the access to this nat­ive wood­land. I am against the pro­pos­al. I appreici­ate the lack of afford­able hous­ing and had struggled to get a prop­erty of my own in the area. How­ever the devel­op­ment of this town should not come at a cost to the beauty nor the very reas­on that many like myself choose to live here. This area is used extens­ively by walk­ers, cyc­lists and nature lov­ers and would be a great lose to all. Plus I can only ima­gine it would have a neg­at­ive impact on the golf course too.
