Item5AADalfaberFarmhouseCommitteeReport

This document contains a planning application to demolish a derelict farmhouse and build a new house at Dalfaber Farm in Aviemore, Highland. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) is considering the application, which has generated some objections, including from the Aviemore Community Council. Concerns relate to the loss of a local landmark and the design of the new house. Despite these objections, planning officers recommend that the Park Authority approves the application, subject to several conditions. These conditions cover things like submitting a detailed landscaping plan, protecting trees, managing drainage, and ensuring the protection of local wildlife like bats and birds. Approval is based on the project complying with the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2021, ensuring that any potential landscape or environmental impacts are mitigated.
