This document contains a planning application and a listed building consent application for a development at Ballater Old School in Ballater, Aberdeenshire, submitted by Grampian Housing Association. The proposal involves converting the old school into ten dwelling houses, reinstating schoolhouses to form two dwellings, erecting one dwelling house and 11 flats (affordable houses), forming a car park, and making access and alterations to boundary walls. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) planning committee is recommended to grant full planning permission and listed building consent subject to several conditions, including the submission of revised site plans, landscape schemes, lighting plans, tree protection plans, and material samples. The proposal seeks to address concerns raised in a previous, refused application by reducing density, improving access, and increasing amenity space, while complying with the Park Authority's Local Development Plan.
