This document contains information on planning applications submitted to the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) for the refurbishment and restoration of the Invercauld Arms Hotel and its surrounding buildings in Braemar. The proposal includes converting the hotel into serviced apartments with event space, building leisure facilities (like a pool and gym), changing the use of some buildings to offices and staff housing, and replacing a footbridge. Several reports and surveys were conducted, and consultees like NatureScot and the Scottish Water provided feedback. The Park Authority recommends approving the applications with conditions to ensure the development protects the environment, cultural heritage, and local amenity.
