This document contains a planning application for a change of use of agricultural land to create a caravan park with storage shed, decking, hot tubs, and access at land adjacent to Old Hall Dinnet Bridge in Aberdeenshire. The application, submitted by Mr. A Buchanan on 8 February 2021, with reference number 2021/0035/DET, is recommended for approval subject to conditions. The proposal involves creating eight caravan pitches, including two with hot tubs, along with landscaping and waste management systems and the applicant also proposes to plant 50 native trees along the perimeter to provide screening. The site is located near the River Dee Special Area of Conservation and the Dinnet Oakwood Site of Special Scientific Interest, and while some concerns were raised regarding potential impacts on these areas, the application includes measures to mitigate these risks. The Planning Committee supports the recommendation to approve the change of use of agricultural land to form caravan park.
