This document contains a summary of a planning application for the Craig Watch Wind Farm, proposed by Craig Watch wind farm Ltd, located northeast of the Cairngorms National Park. The Scottish Government will make the final decision because the wind farm will produce more than 50 MW of power. While the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) does not have direct control over developments outside the park, they must consider the impact on the park's landscape and special qualities. NatureScot provided advice, noting a potential negative impact on "dark skies" due to aviation lighting, but the Park Authority ultimately decided not to object to the proposal, concluding that it would not compromise the integrity of the National Park, and would not significantly affect existing conditions in the area.
