This document contains a planning application for the erection of 18 affordable houses with associated access, drainage, service, and landscaping works at Land 40M NE of Rose Cottage, Dulnain Bridge in the Cairngorms National Park. The application, submitted by Highland Housing Alliance, seeks permission for a mix of detached and semi-detached houses, all proposed as affordable units, exceeding the 25% policy requirement. The site is designated for housing in the Local Development Plan, although the proposed density is higher than initially suggested. Following revisions and consultations, various concerns regarding landscape, drainage, and environmental impact have been addressed, leading to a recommendation for approval subject to conditions related to construction management, tree protection, landscaping, drainage, visibility splays, and the provision of affordable housing in perpetuity.
