This document contains a proposal to erect 18 houses, 8 of which are affordable, with drainage and a road layout on land north of Auchroisk Cromdale Station Road in Cromdale Highland. The application, submitted by Valley Construction Services on 13 January 2020, seeks approval subject to conditions. The site is located on agricultural land identified in the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2021, and the proposal aims to provide a mix of housing types sympathetic to the area's character. While some consultees raised concerns regarding flood risk, traffic, and landscape impact, the Highland Council Transport Planning Team supports the introduction of a 20 miles per hour speed limit. Mitigation measures and conditions have been recommended to address these concerns. The Cairngorms National Park Authority support a recommendation to APPROVE this proposal.
