Item5 Appendix2 GeneralComment20200080DET

This document contains a general comment representation on agenda item 5, appendix 2, application 2020/0080/DET for the Cairngorms National Park Authority Planning Committee meeting on 26 June 2020. The comment expresses disappointment that the landowner does not intend to reinstate the site and notes that while the site is allocated for economic development in the 2020 Development Plan, it is unlikely to be developed in the short term due to the current economic climate. This negatively impacts the landscape and the objectives of the Park Authority to conserve the natural heritage of the area. The comment also highlights a contradiction between the landowner's support for economic development land and the agent's statement about the adverse impact of returning the land to grazing. Finally, the comment mentions the lack of landscaping in the submitted plans, despite its inclusion in the development description, and suggests seeking clarification from the agent. The comment was submitted by Joan Knox of Kincraig.
