This document contains a report for the Cairngorms National Park Authority Planning Committee, seeking approval for changes to and adoption of Design and Placemaking non-statutory planning guidance, as well as Developer Obligations Supplementary Guidance for submission to Scottish Ministers. These guidances support the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2021. The Design and Placemaking guidance supports policy 3, and the Developer Obligations guidance supports policy 11. Both guidances were subject to public consultation, and changes were made based on the feedback received. If approved, the Design and Placemaking guidance will become part of the suite of adopted non-statutory planning guidance. Following approval of the Developer Obligations Supplementary Guidance, it will be submitted to Scottish Ministers with a statement outlining the publicity measures, comments received, and how they were addressed. After 28 days, the Authority may adopt the Supplementary Guidance unless directed otherwise by the Scottish Ministers.
