Item7 Newtonmore cycle storage committee report 20160179DET

This document contains a committee report from the Cairngorms National Park Authority recommending approval for a planning application by Tulloch Homes Ltd. The proposal involves building cycle stores on plots 33 to 48 and increasing the boundary fence height on plots 27 to 32 at Land 30M NE of 45 Cattanach Drive, Newtonmore. The cycle stores, which are green plastic and designed to hold two bikes each, will be placed across four sites within an ongoing housing development to encourage sustainable transport. The boundary fence will be a timber screen, increasing in height from 1.5 metres to 1.8 metres. The report concludes that the development aligns well with national and local planning policies regarding sustainable transport, local living, design, and environmental impacts, finding that it will not negatively affect the surrounding area or local amenity. Therefore, the application is recommended for approval with specific conditions.
