This document contains a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) for planning application 2016/0153/DET at Balavil Mains Farmhouse in Kingussie. The proposed development involves converting farm buildings into visitor facilities and commercial space. The assessment looks at the potential impact of the development on nearby Natura sites, specifically the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Insh Marshes SAC, and Insh Marshes Special Protection Area (SPA). The HRA concludes that with the implementation of mitigation measures outlined in the Species Protection Plan and Pollution Prevention Plan, the development is unlikely to have a significant negative impact on these protected areas.
