Item6Appendix2bRepresentationGeneral20190298DET

This document contains comments from a neighbour, Mr Douglas Norris, Chairman of the Strathspey Railway Company Ltd (SRC), regarding planning application 2019/0298/DET for a housing development near Spey House in Aviemore. The SRC neither objects to nor supports the application, but raises concerns about potential increases in road traffic at the Dalfaber Level Crossing, visibility issues for locomotive drivers, lack of boundary fence details, proximity of buildings to the SRC boundary, drainage, and the impact of train operations (smoke, steam, and whistles) on the proposed development. The SRC is in communication with the Office of Road & Rail and the Highland Council regarding improvements at the crossing.
