This document contains a planning application to the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) for the erection of a hut and composting toilet in Gabhean Baddengorm Wood, Carrbridge. The application was submitted by Mrs Sarah Louise Kemp and was called in on 29 April 2019. The Park Authority's recommendation is to refuse the application. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the Royal Society for Protection of Birds (RSPB), and the Carrbridge Community Council all object to the proposal, raising concerns about the potential impact on capercaillie populations and the disturbance to the surrounding environment. The Park Authority has concluded that the proposal is contrary to the Park Authority's policies on natural heritage, sport and recreation, and supporting economic growth, due to the potential impact on protected species and the lack of association with any business activity.
