This document contains a letter of objection regarding planning application 2024/0005/DET for the erection of six houses on land south of 22 Kerrow Drive, Kingussie, submitted on 30 January 2024. The writer, a resident adjacent to the proposed development, raises concerns about the density of the housing, potential negative impacts on drainage, flood risk, subsidence, the environment, and community well-being. They challenge the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening opinion and highlight issues with surface water, drainage, and ecological impacts, including potential harm to protected species and habitats. The letter also argues that the proposal does not align with Designing Streets guidance and requests several considerations, including reducing the number of houses, retaining natural amenities, employing the precautionary principle in ecological impact assessments, and ensuring appropriate drainage and accessible footpaths.
