Item6appendix3ObjectionsGlenRoadTrack20220421DET
This document contains objections to a planning application (2022/0421/DET) submitted to the Cairngorms National Park Authority regarding the construction of a 4.83km forestry track, formation of passing places, and renewal of a bridge near Riseley Cottage, Glen Road, Newtonmore. The objections come from members of the public, including the North East Mountain Trust (NEMT) and the Badenoch and Strathspey Conservation Group (BSCG), who are concerned about the negative impact on the landscape, wildness, and peatland, as well as potential disturbance to wildlife and the incompatibility of the proposal with the Cairngorms National Park Authority's (Park Authority) policies on private roads and landscape protection. Objectors suggest that smaller vehicles and alternative extraction methods could be used to avoid the need for a new road, and express concern that the primary purpose of the road is for estate management and sporting activities rather than timber extraction.
