COM­MUNITY COUN­CIL COMMENTS

From:Ballater and Crath­ie Com­munity Coun­cil Sent:23 Sep 2020 11:46:58 +0100 To: Deirdre Straw Cc:wee;JOANNE CROLL;Francis Duguid;pat;Lewis Mac;jane angus;fio;Richard Frim­ston; Lisa McMa­hon; Emma Stew­art; Bill Braid Subject:FW: CNPA Call-In Noti­fic­a­tion — 2020/0201/DET

With ref­er­ence to plan­ning applic­a­tion 2020/021/DET, Erec­tion of 18 Hut, 4 Com­post Toi­lets and Asso­ci­ated Access, Car Park­ing and Landscaping

Fol­low­ing dis­cus­sion of this plan­ning applic­a­tion at our recent Com­munity Coun­cil meet­ing, promp­ted by mem­bers of the com­munity attend­ing the meet­ing and by cor­res­pond­ence received, the Com­munity Coun­cil would like to com­mu­nic­ate that whilst it sup­ports devel­op­ments of this type in prin­ciple, this is not an appro­pri­ate loc­a­tion for such a devel­op­ment, for two main reasons:

Road Safety — Poten­tial for acci­dents due to increased num­bers of vehicles access­ing a dif­fi­cult entrance in an non reduced speed lim­it area from the A93. In addi­tion, the lack of foot­path along the A93 from access to café etc in Crath­ie could put increased no. of ped­es­tri­ans at risk. If plans are approved a 30mph lim­it should be installed.

Loc­a­tion in an SSSI – Con­cern regard­ing impact on SSSI; risk that hut users take wood from nearby trees for fire wood, poten­tial for wild fires to spread. Con­cerns regard­ing the impact of lit­ter & human waste on the SSSI. How will this be managed?

In addi­tion, the num­ber of huts is over devel­op­ment and we have received con­cerns regard­ing the remov­al of exist­ing cara­vans and their present owners/​tenants.

We are also con­cerned about the lack of pub­lic con­sulta­tion that has occurred and sug­gest that the applic­ant revis­it the plans after pub­lic con­sulta­tion with the com­munity in Crathie.
