This document contains a collection of objections from members of the public and the Badenoch & Strathspey Conservation Group regarding planning application 2023/0004/DET, which proposes to change the use of land at the Dry Ski Slope on Grampian Road in Aviemore for the siting of 27 lodges, an access road, and landscaping. Concerns raised include the loss of green space, the impact on wildlife (particularly ospreys and otters) and their habitats, increased traffic and congestion, the loss of recreational areas for locals, the potential for disturbance to wildlife from increased human activity, and the appropriateness of the landscaping proposals. Some objectors also feel that there is already too much holiday accommodation in the area and that the development would negatively impact the character of Aviemore.
