Item6Appendix4Objection20200221DET

This document contains an objection to a planning application (reference number 2020/0221/DET) for erecting a "bothy" (a small basic shelter) on land 400m southwest of Killiehuntly Farmhouse. The objection, called in by the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) on 28 September 2020, raises concerns that the application is effectively for an exclusive holiday chalet located in scrub woodland by the River Tromie. The objector argues that the development would intrude on wild land, strain the rough access track, potentially limit public access to the riverbank, and increase pressure on affordable housing in the Spey Valley due to a lack of staff accommodation provision.
