Item6 Appendix3 HRA20200081DET

This document contains a Habitats Regulations Assessment regarding planning application 2017/0008/DET at the Badaguish Outdoor Centre in the Cairngorms National Park. The application seeks to retain 10 holiday wigwams for a further three years. An assessment was conducted to determine if the proposal would have any adverse effects on nearby Natura sites, specifically concerning the conservation of species such as capercaillie. The assessment considered potential impacts on the Cairngorms Special Protection Area (SPA) and other SPAs. It concluded that the measures outlined in the Visitor Management Plan would avoid significant disturbance to capercaillie and that the proposal would not adversely affect the integrity of any of the Natura sites.
