This document contains a planning application submitted to the Cairngorms National Park Authority for the construction of 47 houses/flats with associated roads and footways on a 1.99 hectare site in Carrbridge. The application is recommended for approval, subject to conditions and a developer contribution. Key issues considered include the development's impact on the landscape, local environment, road infrastructure, and village services. The proposal includes affordable housing units, traffic calming measures, and connections to existing utilities. The application has been through multiple consultations and revisions, addressing concerns from the Highland Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, and local community. Despite some objections, the development is considered to comply with local development plan policies and will require several planning conditions to mitigate potential impacts.
