Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan 2021

SEC­TION 1: PUR­POSE AND FORMAT Purpose

This Action Pro­gramme has been pre­pared to sup­port the deliv­ery of the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan 2021 (LDP).

The aim of the Action Pro­gramme is to set out actions which will help imple­ment the vis­ion, strategy and pro­pos­als of the LDP. It is the Cairngorm Nation­al Park Authority’s (CNPA) main deliv­ery tool for the LDP and will be used to help mon­it­or progress.

The Town and Coun­try Plan­ning (Devel­op­ment Plan­ning) (Scot­land) Reg­u­la­tions 2008 requires Action Pro­grammes to set out:

• A list of actions required to deliv­er each of the Plan’s key policies and proposals;
• The organ­isa­tion who is to carry out the action; and
• The broad times­cale for car­ry­ing out each action.

How­ever, Action Pro­grammes are now being pro­moted as a key tool for facil­it­at­ing and sup­port­ing devel­op­ment deliv­ery. Scot­tish Plan­ning Policy (2014) emphas­ises that ​‘Action pro­grammes should be act­ively used to drive deliv­ery of planned devel­op­ments: to align stake­hold­ers, phas­ing, fin­an­cing and infra­struc­ture invest­ment over the long term’ (para. 31).

This Action Pro­gramme sets out pro­gress updates on:

• Nation­al Pro­jects with­in the Nation­al Park that will play a role in the future deliv­ery of devel­op­ment and policy object­ives of the LDP;
• Infra­struc­ture and Oth­er Pro­jects that will sup­port the deliv­ery of the aims of the LDP; and
• How the LDP Policies will be imple­men­ted and mon­itored; and
• Indi­vidu­al site alloc­a­tions by set­tle­ment. Each site is set out in Sec­tion 6, and a Red/​Amber/​Green sys­tem is used to eval­u­ate their effectiveness.

All stat­utory Con­sul­tees have been con­sul­ted on this Action Pro­gramme to ascer­tain any addi­tion­al inform­a­tion relat­ing to the infra­struc­ture require­ments and any con­straints which may affect the deliv­ery of sites.

The CNPA use the Action Pro­gramme to build a clear­er evid­ence base for the each of the alloc­ated sites in the LDP, identi­fy­ing con­straints, or costs of devel­op­ing sites and ways of resolv­ing them. This will also include developer oblig­a­tions require­ments for each settlement.

This inform­a­tion will be updated annu­ally through each review of the Action Pro­gramme and will be avail­able for developers and communities.

Format

The Action Pro­gramme has six main sections:

SEC­TION 1: PUR­POSE AND FORMAT

The role of partners

The Action Pro­gramme is pre­pared by the CNPA, how­ever, the CNPA is only one of many stake­hold­ers — includ­ing pub­lic bod­ies, private developers, landown­ers and com­munit­ies — who are respons­ible for deliv­er­ing actions with­in it.

For example, most loc­al author­it­ies com­bine the roles of plan­ning author­ity with hous­ing author­ity, roads author­ity, edu­ca­tion author­ity and deliv­ery of ser­vices, each of which may help deliv­er the LDP for an area. In the Cairngorms Nation­al Park, the loc­al author­it­ies con­tin­ue to do all those roles, with the CNPA shar­ing parts of the plan­ning author­ity role. This means that our Action Pro­gramme relies heav­ily on the work of the loc­al author­it­ies and oth­er pub­lic bod­ies as well as the own­ers of land, private developers and com­munit­ies. There are too many to identi­fy in detail, but some of the key roles are sum­mar­ised below:

Links to oth­er Plans and Strategies

The Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan and Action Pro­gramme help to deliv­er the plans and strategies of many organ­isa­tions and for many issues across the Nation­al Park. In par­tic­u­lar, the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan which is the over­arch­ing land use strategy for the Nation­al Park. It there­fore sets the con­text for:

• The Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan
• Act­ive Cairngorms
• Cairngorms Nature
• The Eco­nom­ic Strategy

Review of the Action Programme

The CNPA will review and repub­lish the Action Pro­gramme annu­ally and want it to be a ​‘live’ doc­u­ment that changes and adapts over time.

The annu­al Action Pro­gramme reviews will reflect changes on the ground, demon­strate pro­gress or con­straints in deliv­ery, incor­por­ate new actions and provide up to date inform­a­tion on the status and pro­gress of sites over time along with cur­rent developer oblig­a­tions require­ments. Each annu­al review will be report to CNPA Plan­ning Com­mit­tee for inform­a­tion and will be pub­lished on the CNPA web­site for com­munit­ies and developers.

Oth­er plans and strategies that are linked to the Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan and Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan also include:

• The loc­al author­it­ies’ Hous­ing Strategies, and Stra­tegic Hous­ing Invest­ment Plans
• Trans­port Scot­land Stra­tegic Trans­port Pro­jects Review and Region­al Trans­port Strategies
• Area Waste Plans
• Loc­al Author­ity cap­it­al invest­ment plans
• Com­munity Action Plans
• Plans of Com­munity Plan­ning Partnerships
• Scotland’s River Basin Man­age­ment Plan and Catch­ment Man­age­ment Plans

This Action Pro­gramme how­ever only focuses on pro­jects that con­trib­ute to the deliv­ery of the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan 2021.

SEC­TION 6: DEVEL­OP­MENT LAND SUPPLY

This sec­tion of the Action Pro­gramme is used to assess pro­gress and identi­fy con­straints or bar­ri­ers to the devel­op­ment of land and sites for hous­ing, employ­ment and com­munity or oth­er uses. It is set out by set­tle­ment and includes ​‘anti­cip­ated infra­struc­ture & afford­able hous­ing require­ments’ which apply at a set­tle­ment level as well as more detailed updates on a site-by-site basis. These have been informed through con­sulta­tion with the rel­ev­ant author­it­ies and each site has been col­our coded to reflect its level of constraint.

The require­ments set out in this Action Pro­gramme should be read in con­junc­tion with the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan 2021 par­tic­u­larly for inform­a­tion on mit­ig­a­tion require­ments and assess­ments includ­ing the need for spe­cies pro­tec­tion plans, con­struc­tion meth­od state­ments and recre­ation man­age­ment plans.

This sec­tion includes all cur­rent allocations
