Item5Appendix 2 AppealDecision2019/00003/DETand2019/0006/LBC

This document contains appeal decisions related to planning permission and listed building consent for a proposed development at Ballater Old School, Abergeldie Road, Ballater. The Grampian Housing Association appealed the Cairngorms National Park Authority's decision to refuse planning permission and listed building consent for converting the old school into housing, including demolition of some buildings and new construction. Chris Norman, a Scottish minister-appointed reporter, allowed both appeals, granting planning permission and listed building consent subject to conditions that address concerns about design, impact on the conservation area, residential amenity, road safety, and adherence to the local development plan. The decisions highlight the need for affordable housing while protecting the historic environment.
