Item5AA20220305DETNethyBridgeHousingCommitteeReport

This document contains a planning application to erect 21 dwellings at Nethy Bridge Station Yard, Station Road, Nethy Bridge. AW Laing is the applicant and the application was called in on 3 October 2022. The Cairngorms National Park Authority's planning manager recommends that the application is refused. While the housing development on a brownfield site aligns with several policies, concerns exist regarding potential flood risks, surface water disposal, insufficient landscaping details, lack of information on protected species and pollution prevention, potential road network impacts, inadequate dust mitigation, potential contaminants, and failure to secure the required amount of affordable housing. Because of these issues, the proposal does not comply with several planning policies.
