This document contains a planning application for the formation of a road and Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) basin in Newtonmore, Highland, submitted by Tulloch Homes Ltd on 7 November 2022. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) is considering approving the proposal, subject to conditions, as it aligns with local development plan policies regarding design, landscape, and natural heritage. Consultations with various bodies, including Scottish Water, NatureScot, and Highland Council teams, have raised no major objections, although some require further details or conditions related to drainage, planting, and protection of breeding birds. The Park Authority's Ecology Officer noted the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is nearby but unlikely to be affected. Overall, the proposal is deemed acceptable, with any remaining concerns to be addressed through imposed conditions.
