We are writ­ing to object to this applic­a­tion and sup­port the reas­ons laid out in the objec­tion by the Com­munity Council.

It is con­trary to the Nation­al Parks num­ber 1 aim to encour­age gradu­al erosion of our nat­ur­al envir­on­ment. The threat to caper­cail­lie and wild­life by more intru­sion is not in line with the CNPA aims.

Please con­sider care­fully the pre­ced­ent you are set­ting if you sup­port this application.

Dear Stephanie Wade 2019/0134/DET | Erec­tion of hut and sit­ing of com­post­ing toi­let | Gab­hean Bad­den­gorm Wood Carrbridge

BSCG wishes to object to this applic­a­tion and we request the oppor­tun­ity to address the plan­ning com­mit­tee when this applic­a­tion is determined.

The pro­pos­al site is with­in Bad­den­gorm Wood which is an import­ant wood­land for the Annex 1 spe­cies caper­cail­lie. Badenoch & Strath­spey now sup­ports some 83% of the entire Scot­tish and UK pop­u­la­tion of caper­cail­lie. The Badenoch & Strath­spey meta­pop­u­la­tion depends on both the 5 Spe­cial Pro­tec­tion Areas that are des­ig­nated for caper­cail­lie, as well as undes­ig­nated sites such as Bad­den­gorm Wood. Impacts on caper­cail­lie in Bad­den­gorm Wood would be likely to have impacts on the con­ser­va­tion object­ives of the Badenoch & Strath­spey SPAs.

The pro­pos­al would add to human dis­turb­ance with­in the wood, both dur­ing day­light hours and at night and early morn­ing. This would be likely to impact neg­at­ively on caper­cail­lie. No mit­ig­a­tion for the dis­turb­ance impacts on caper­cail­lie would be practicable.

The pro­pos­al is with­in wood­land on the Ancient Wood­land Invent­ory clas­si­fied as of semi nat­ur­al ori­gin which is the highest qual­ity cat­egory of ancient wood­land site. Ancient wood­land is an irre­place­able resource that can­not be recre­ated; its loss can­not be mit­ig­ated for.

The pro­posed build­ings and car park­ing raise ques­tions of cur­til­age and poten­tial impacts on pub­lic access rights in the vicin­ity of the proposal.

BSCG is very con­cerned at the plan­ning pre­ced­ent that the CNPA would estab­lish if this hut were consented.

Yours sin­cerely

Gus Jones Convener
