This document contains a planning application submitted by Cairngorm Residential Ltd for the erection of 28 apartments with associated works on Grampian Road, Aviemore. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) Planning Committee reviewed the proposal, considering factors like site history, development plan context, consultations (including concerns raised by the Forestry Officer regarding tree loss and SNH regarding Capercaillie habitat), and representations from the community. Key issues raised include overdevelopment, visual impact, tree loss, affordable housing, and sustainable travel options. Ultimately, the Planning Committee recommends refusing the application due to non-compliance with Local Development Plan policies related to landscape, sustainable design, and natural heritage.
