This document contains objections to a planning application (reference number 2018/0043/DET) submitted to the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) for the erection of 32 apartments with associated works on the former filling station on Grampian Road, Aviemore. The objections raised include concerns that the application is missing detail, factually inaccurate, disproportionate to other buildings in Aviemore, would destroy mature native Scots pine trees and the habitat of red squirrels, and would be a visual detraction to the southern entrance of Aviemore. Further concerns mentioned that the proposal to build four sets of four-storey flats on Grampian Road is frightening, as they live in a National Park, the wildlife, especially red squirrels, will be devastated by this development, as well as the trees which are earmarked to be taken down, and it will affect the bird wildlife living here.
