This document contains a planning application for a new 61-vehicle car park near Loch Moraig in the Cairngorms National Park, submitted by The Outdoor Access Trust. The proposed car park is intended to address the lack of suitable parking for walkers accessing Beinn a' Ghlo, and to reduce damage to the surrounding environment caused by informal parking. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) recommends approving the application, subject to conditions including a Construction Method Statement, a drainage plan, a landscape plan, and an archaeological investigation. The Park Authority believes the proposal aligns with the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2021, promoting sustainable tourism and responsible outdoor access while minimizing environmental impact.
