This document contains community council comments regarding a planning application (2023/0004/DET) for a change of land use at the site of the Dry Ski Slope on Grampian Road, Aviemore. The proposal involves siting 25 lodges, an access road, and landscaping. Aviemore and Vicinity Community Council objects to the application, citing concerns about overcapacity, loss of green space, impacts on wildlife, reduced public access amenity, environmental impact on woodland, and visual impact affecting views to and from the Craigellachie National Nature Reserve (NNR). The council reviewed revised plans reducing the number of lodges from 27 to 25 but maintains its objection, feeling that its concerns have not been addressed.
