This document contains a planning application for the formation of a touring motorhome/caravan site at Land 85M North of Birchview, Dalwhinnie within the Cairngorms National Park. The applicant, Mr Connor Fraser, seeks permission for a 38-bay site with facilities, with a date called-in of 13 June 2023. The recommendation is to approve the application subject to certain conditions. The site is located west of the A889 trunk road and comprises mixed grazing land and woodland near a filling station. While there were 15 letters of representation from 10 individuals objecting to the application, the Cairngorms National Park Authority ultimately determined that the proposal complies with the relevant planning policies if the concerns listed are addressed. The conclusion is that the objectives of the National Planning Framework and the Local Development Plan are met, so approval is recommended subject to various conditions.
