This document contains community council comments for planning application 2020/0076/DET regarding engineering works to strengthen the funicular viaduct on Cairngorm Mountain. The Aviemore and Vicinity Community Council supports the application, but notes concerns that the timing of the application pre-empts recent community consultation and a future masterplan from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) that will review options for the funicular. They also note a lack of information on the planned duration or potential timing of the work. The community council also expressed concern that running site traffic through the Coire Cas car park could be problematic. Finally, they welcome the proposed measures to protect the wildlife and environment.
