This document contains a proposal to redevelop a former secondary school site in Tomintoul into 12 affordable homes. The application, submitted by Tomintoul And Glenlivet Development Trust, was called in on 15 February 2021. The recommendation is to approve the redevelopment, subject to certain conditions and a developer contribution. The site is located in the village centre and is planned to include a mix of semi-detached and detached houses, some designed as live/work units. The proposal includes landscaping, access, and servicing arrangements, with consideration given to drainage, ecological impact, and tree preservation. The Moray Council and other consultees have been involved, and concerns about road safety and infrastructure have been addressed through revised plans and proposed conditions. The development is considered to align with the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan, promoting new housing and enhancing the character of the area.
