Item 8 Appendix 1a Plans 20260060DET Biking downhill run

This document contains plans for a proposed development at the Lecht Ski Centre within the Cairngorms National Park, dated 12 June 2026, under reference 2026/0060/DET. The plans detail the creation of a new mountain bike track called 'Descent Trail 01,' which will be 1,030 meters long and cover an area of 0.2 hectares, located near the existing 'Buzzard' uplift tower. The project involves redeveloping existing trails, with the final track designed to be up to 2 meters wide and blended into the natural landscape. Construction methods will involve careful placement of the trail to avoid sensitive ecological areas and ensure safety.
