This document contains a recommendation to approve a planning application for the conversion of a building into three flats and the erection of two cottage flats at Badenoch House, Kingussie. The Highland Council submitted the application, and the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) is recommending approval subject to several conditions. These conditions include measures to protect trees, ensure appropriate external materials are used, and maintain access arrangements and parking. The application has received objections, mainly regarding the loss of garden space and potential impacts on local wildlife, but these concerns have been addressed through revisions and additional surveys. The Park Authority believes the development complies with the local development plan and will provide much-needed affordable housing.
