Image descrip­tion: This map has been pro­duced to aid in the stat­utory pro­cess of deal­ing with plan­ning applic­a­tions. The map is to help identi­fy the site and its sur­round­ings and to aid Plan­ning Officers, Com­mit­tee Mem­bers and the Pub­lic in the determ­in­a­tion of the pro­pos­al. Maps shown in the Plan­ning Com­mit­tee Report can only be used for the pur­poses of the Plan­ning Com­mit­tee. Any oth­er use risks infringing Crown Copy­right and may lead to pro­sec­u­tion or civil pro­ceed­ings. Maps pro­duced with­in this Plan­ning Com­mit­tee Report can only be repro­duced with the express per­mis­sion of the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity and oth­er Copy­right hold­ers. This per­mis­sion must be gran­ted in advance.

Site descrip­tion, pro­pos­al and history

Site descrip­tion

1. The applic­a­tion site lies on the west­ern edge of Nethy Bridge and cov­ers an area of approx­im­ately 0.8 hec­tares. The brown­field site was a former rail­way sta­tion and asso­ci­ated yard and is bounded by agri­cul­tur­al land to the north and west, res­id­en­tial prop­er­ties to the east and Sta­tion Road to the south, with the River Nethy (which is part of the River Spey Spe­cial Area of Con­ser­va­tion (SAC)) flow­ing bey­ond, par­al­lel to the road. The Spey­side Way runs along the east­ern bound­ary of the site.

Pro­pos­al

1. The draw­ings and doc­u­ments asso­ci­ated with this applic­a­tion are lis­ted below and are avail­able on the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity web­site unless noted oth­er­wise: 2026/0095/DET | Change of house type (Plot 17) | Nethy­bridge Sta­tion Yard Sta­tion Road Nethy Bridge Highland

1. The applic­a­tion pro­poses to change the house type on Plot 17 on the devel­op­ment site gran­ted con­sent under 2022/0305/DET, which is for the erec­tion of 21 dwell­ings. A con­di­tion on the 2022/0305/DET per­mis­sion requires the deliv­ery of a min­im­um of 25% afford­able hous­ing on the wider devel­op­ment site. How­ever, sub­sequently it has been agreed with the developer that this site will also provide the afford­able hous­ing required for an addi­tion­al devel­op­ment of 35 houses at Lettoch Road in Nethy Bridge (ref­er­ence 2025/0034/DET). Con­sequently, a leg­al agree­ment has been con­cluded that will ensure all the houses on this site are to be delivered as afford­able units.

2. The exist­ing con­sen­ted scheme pro­poses a three-bed­room detached house on this plot, while this applic­a­tion seeks con­sent for a semi-detached block con­sist­ing of a two-bed­room house to one side and a three-bed­room house to the oth­er side. The pro­posed unit will be on the same foot­print of the con­sen­ted detached house and there will be no changes to site levels or the over­all hard­stand­ing area already approved.

His­tory

1. 2022/0305/DET – Erec­tion of 21 dwell­ings – plan­ning per­mis­sion was gran­ted by Scot­tish Min­is­ters on 5/11/2024. The applic­a­tion was referred to Scot­tish Min­is­ters for decision giv­en there was an out­stand­ing objec­tion from Scot­tish Envir­on­ment Pro­tec­tion Agency (SEPA) on flood risk grounds.
2. 14/01529/S42 – Applic­a­tion under Sec­tion 42 to vary time on applic­a­tion 07/00231/FULLBS for a fur­ther year – plan­ning per­mis­sion gran­ted 19/05/2014.
3. 07/00231/FULBS – Erec­tion of bunk­house – plan­ning per­mis­sion gran­ted 17/04/2009.
4. 04/318/CP and 10/380/CP – Erec­tion of Vis­it­or Centre (includ­ing craft work­shops, retail, and cafet­er­ia), 6 no. dwell­ing­houses and gar­ages and asso­ci­ated access road and park­ing areas – plan­ning per­mis­sions gran­ted 17/11/2005 and 14/01/2011. The second per­mis­sion was star­ted in 2011 and remains a live consent.

Hab­it­ats Reg­u­la­tions Appraisal

1. It is not con­sidered that the pro­posed devel­op­ment is likely to have a sig­ni­fic­ant impact upon a des­ig­nated European Site. As such, a Hab­it­ats Reg­u­la­tions Apprais­al (HRA) is not required in this case.

Con­sulta­tions

1. A sum­mary of the main issues raised by con­sul­tees now follows:

2. SEPA state that giv­en the Park Author­ity con­sider that the pro­posed devel­op­ment com­plies with NPF4 Policy 22 a iii) and the works do not involve any land rais­ing, it appears the devel­op­ment falls below the threshold for which SEPA provides site spe­cif­ic advice. They there­fore refer the Park Author­ity to their Flood Risk Stand­ing Advice.

3. The High­land Council’s Flood Risk Man­age­ment team state that the changes to Plot 17 do not appear to make a mater­i­al dif­fer­ence to any­thing with­in their remit and there­fore have no objections.

4. The High­land Council’s Trans­port Plan­ning team states the pro­posed amend­ment is mod­est in nature and does not raise con­cerns in respect of the pub­lic road net­work, road safety, park­ing pro­vi­sion, ser­vi­cing arrange­ments or ped­es­tri­an move­ment and remains con­sist­ent with the prin­ciples estab­lished under the extant plan­ning per­mis­sion. They there­fore have no objec­tion to the application.

5. Nethy Bridge Com­munity Coun­cil was con­sul­ted and had not provided a response at the time this report was written.

Rep­res­ent­a­tions

1. A let­ter of sup­port has been received, and a copy is included in Appendix 2. The respond­ent expressed sup­port for the ori­gin­al applic­a­tion for 21 houses, attend­ing both the com­mit­tee meet­ing and sub­sequent hear­ing. They wel­come the cur­rent applic­a­tion which will increase the num­ber of afford­able units, and which will improve the over­all viab­il­ity of the development.

Apprais­al

1. Sec­tion 25 of the Town and Coun­try Plan­ning (Scot­land) Act 1997 (as amended) requires applic­a­tions to be determ­ined in accord­ance with the Devel­op­ment Plan. This com­prises Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4 (NPF4) and the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan 2021 (LDP). Where there is con­flict between policies, NPF4 policies take precedence.

2. The main plan­ning con­sid­er­a­tions are: the prin­ciple of devel­op­ment; lay­out, amen­ity and design; land­scape issues; envir­on­ment­al issues; access and ser­vi­cing; flood­ing and sur­face water drain­age; infra­struc­ture and developer con­tri­bu­tions. These are con­sidered in detail below.

Prin­ciple

1. NPF4 Policy 9: Brown­field, vacant and derel­ict land, and empty build­ings, encour­ages the sus­tain­able reuse of brown­field land, while Policy 16: Qual­ity homes sup­ports devel­op­ment pro­pos­als that improve afford­ab­il­ity and choice and provide high qual­ity, afford­able homes in loc­a­tions where there is an iden­ti­fied loc­al need. LDP Policy 1: New hous­ing devel­op­ment sup­ports new hous­ing with­in iden­ti­fied set­tle­ment bound­ar­ies. Policy 1, para­graph 1.4 seeks a mix of dwell­ing types and sizes to help secure a bal­anced hous­ing stock with an emphas­is on smal­ler dwellings.

2. The site is an unal­loc­ated, brown­field site with­in the set­tle­ment bound­ary of Nethy Bridge and has plan­ning per­mis­sion for 21 homes. This pro­pos­al will provide two mod­est (2 and 3 bed­room) homes which will assist in provid­ing the type of hous­ing that addresses the loc­al community’s needs and demand.

3. The prin­ciple of hous­ing on this site has already been estab­lished under the extant con­sent, and as such the cur­rent pro­pos­al is accept­able in prin­ciple sub­ject to com­pli­ance with oth­er rel­ev­ant devel­op­ment plan policies.

Design, Lay­out and Amenity

1. NPF4 Policy 14: Design, qual­ity and place sup­ports devel­op­ment where it is con­sist­ent with the six qual­it­ies of suc­cess­ful places: healthy; pleas­ant; con­nec­ted; dis­tinct­ive; sus­tain­able; and adapt­able. LDP Policy 1: New hous­ing devel­op­ment and LDP Policy 3: Design and place­mak­ing seek to rein­force and enhance the char­ac­ter of the exist­ing set­tle­ment and encour­age new devel­op­ment to be sym­path­et­ic to the tra­di­tion­al pat­tern and char­ac­ter of the area, whilst encour­aging innov­at­ive design and finishes.

2. The pro­posed semi-detached house type has already been approved on oth­er plots with­in the wider site. It will cov­er the same foot­print as the con­sen­ted detached house it replaces and in terms of amen­ity will be ori­ent­ated to ensure there will be no over­look­ing and loss of pri­vacy or amen­ity to adja­cent properties.

3. The pro­pos­al is there­fore con­sidered accept­able in terms of NPF4 Policy 14: Design, qual­ity and place and LDP Policy 1: New hous­ing devel­op­ment and Policy 3: Design and placemaking.

Land­scape Issues

1. LDP Policy 5: Land­scape pre­sumes against devel­op­ment which does not con­serve and enhance the land­scape char­ac­ter and spe­cial qual­it­ies of the Nation­al Park and, in par­tic­u­lar, the set­ting of the pro­posed devel­op­ment. This is rein­forced by LDP Policy 3: Design and place­mak­ing, which seeks to ensure that all new devel­op­ment is sym­path­et­ic to the tra­di­tion­al pat­tern and char­ac­ter of the sur­round­ing area, loc­al ver­nacu­lar and loc­al distinctiveness.

2. The pro­pos­al will have no impact on the approved land­scap­ing plan or the long-term main­ten­ance and man­age­ment of this wider res­id­en­tial scheme and thus will not detract from the wider land­scape char­ac­ter or set­ting of the devel­op­ment, in accord­ance with both LDP Policy 5: Land­scape and Policy 3: Design and placemaking.

Envir­on­ment­al Issues

1. NPF4 Policy 1: Tack­ling the cli­mate and nature crises requires that sig­ni­fic­ant weight is giv­en to the glob­al cli­mate and nature crises when con­sid­er­a­tion is giv­en to new devel­op­ment. NPF4 Policy 3: Biod­iversity seeks to ensure that devel­op­ment will con­serve, restore and enhance biod­iversity. NPF4 Policy 4: Nat­ur­al places seeks to pro­tect, restore and enhance nat­ur­al assets includ­ing pro­tec­ted areas.

2. LDP Policy 4: Nat­ur­al her­it­age seeks to restrict devel­op­ment that would have a sig­ni­fic­ant adverse impact on pro­tec­ted species.

3. Issues relat­ing to eco­logy and the nat­ur­al envir­on­ment have been addressed through the determ­in­a­tion and sub­sequent approv­al of the devel­op­ment of 21 houses over the wider site. Giv­en the nature and scale of the cur­rent pro­pos­al there will be no det­ri­ment­al impact on the envir­on­ment or nat­ur­al her­it­age. Biod­iversity enhance­ments are to be delivered through the devel­op­ment of the wider site and fur­ther enhance­ments are not con­sidered neces­sary for this minor change of house type substitution.

4. The pro­pos­al there­fore com­plies with NPF4 Policy 1: Tack­ling the cli­mate and nature crises, NPF4 Policy 3: Biod­iversity, NPF4 Policy 4: Nat­ur­al places and LDP Policy 4: Nat­ur­al heritage.

Access and Servicing

1. NPF4 Policy 13: Sus­tain­able trans­port sup­ports devel­op­ments that provide dir­ect, easy, segreg­ated and safe links to loc­al facil­it­ies via walk­ing, wheel­ing and cyc­ling net­works before occu­pa­tion. NPF4 Policy 15: Loc­al Liv­ing and 20-minute neigh­bour­hoods sup­ports devel­op­ment which con­trib­utes to loc­al liv­ing and the Place Prin­ciple and where, among oth­er things, there is the oppor­tun­ity for sus­tain­able modes of trans­port includ­ing high qual­ity walk­ing, wheel­ing and cyc­ling networks.

2. LDP Policy 3: Design and Place­mak­ing seeks to pro­mote sus­tain­able trans­port meth­ods and act­ive travel and max­im­ise oppor­tun­it­ies for respons­ible out­door access.

3. The pro­pos­al will provide two dwell­ings with sep­ar­ate drive­ways and adequate off-street park­ing in line with adop­ted stand­ards. There will be no change to the site’s access onto the pub­lic road, and the approved intern­al road hier­archy remains unaltered. The pro­pos­al will not adversely affect vehicle move­ment, park­ing pro­vi­sion, ser­vi­cing arrange­ments, or ped­es­tri­an safety. There will be no mater­i­al increase in traffic impact bey­ond that already accep­ted through the extant consent.

4. The devel­op­ment is con­sidered to com­ply with rel­ev­ant NPF4 and LDP policies in rela­tion to access and servicing.

Flood­ing and sur­face water drainage

1. NPF4 Policy 2: Cli­mate mit­ig­a­tion and adapt­a­tion requires that devel­op­ment is sited and designed to adapt to cur­rent and future risks from cli­mate change. NPF4 Policy 22: Flood risk and water man­age­ment pro­motes avoid­ance as a first prin­ciple and redu­cing the vul­ner­ab­il­ity of exist­ing and future devel­op­ment to flood­ing. Devel­op­ment at risk of flood­ing or in a flood risk area will only be sup­por­ted if the pro­pos­al is for the redevel­op­ment of pre­vi­ously used sites and where long-term safety and resi­li­ence can be secured in accord­ance with rel­ev­ant SEPA advice.

2. LDP Policy 10: Resources requires that all devel­op­ment should be free from medi­um to high risk flood­ing, not increase the risk of flood­ing else­where, not add to the area of land requir­ing flood pre­ven­tion meas­ures and not affect the abil­ity of the func­tion­al flood plain to store or move flood waters.

3. At the time the applic­a­tion for the wider devel­op­ment of 21 houses was con­sidered, SEPA objec­ted to the pro­pos­al on the grounds that the pro­posed devel­op­ment would place people or prop­erty at risk of flood­ing con­trary to both NPF4 Policy 22 and LDP Policy 10. The applic­a­tion was recom­men­ded for refus­al but the Com­mit­tee, after vis­it­ing the site and giv­ing due con­sid­er­a­tion to the applic­a­tion, unan­im­ously agreed to sup­port the pro­posed devel­op­ment. Con­sequently, giv­en the out­stand­ing objec­tion from SEPA, the applic­a­tion was referred to Scot­tish Min­is­ters who sub­sequently called it in for determ­in­a­tion. Fol­low­ing lengthy con­sid­er­a­tion, Scot­tish Min­is­ters approved the pro­posed devel­op­ment of 21 homes. In jus­ti­fy­ing their decision, they gave sig­ni­fic­ant weight to the redevel­op­ment of this brown field site and recog­nised that the devel­op­ment would ensure fin­ished floor levels of the houses would be designed above the 1 in 200 year plus cli­mate change flood level. Addi­tion­ally, the fur­ther flood mod­el­ling under­taken by the applic­ants demon­strated that there would be a sig­ni­fic­ant reduc­tion in flood risk to the major­ity of exist­ing adja­cent properties.

4. In terms of the cur­rent pro­pos­al and its assess­ment against NPF4 Policy 22, it is con­sidered that this pro­pos­al for a minor change in house type, giv­en the terms of the extant plan­ning per­mis­sion for hous­ing devel­op­ment on the wider site, can be con­sidered to com­ply with NPF4 Policy 22 a) part iii) — redevel­op­ment of an exist­ing build­ing or site for an equal or less vul­ner­able use. SEPA has been con­sul­ted and giv­en the above, and as there is no land rais­ing pro­posed, have stated that the devel­op­ment falls below the threshold for them to provide site spe­cif­ic advice and there­fore recom­mend ref­er­ence to their Stand­ing Advice. This provides guid­ance for loc­al author­it­ies in these cir­cum­stances to con­sider the appro­pri­ate­ness of a devel­op­ment and any meas­ures to address any iden­ti­fied flood risk.

5. In this case, the pro­pos­al will not change any of the approved site levels, over­all build­ing foot­print area or over­all hard­stand­ing area under the plan­ning per­mis­sion ref­er­ence 2022/0305/DET, which was approved by Scot­tish Min­is­ters. It is con­sidered that the pro­pos­al will not intro­duce any fur­ther flood risk and as such com­plies with NPF4 Policy 2: Cli­mate mit­ig­a­tion and adapt­a­tion, NPF4 Policy 22: Flood risk and water man­age­ment, and LDP Policy 10: Resources.

Infra­struc­ture and Developer Contributions

1. LDP Policy 11: Developer Oblig­a­tions states that where devel­op­ment cre­ates a need to increase or improve pub­lic ser­vices, facil­it­ies or infra­struc­ture, or mit­ig­ate adverse effects, the developer will be required to make a fair and reas­on­able con­tri­bu­tion in cash or in kind towards addi­tion­al costs or requirements.

2. No fur­ther improve­ments to exist­ing edu­ca­tion, ser­vices and facil­it­ies were iden­ti­fied for the wider site and there­fore there is no require­ment for the applic­ants to make any con­tri­bu­tions in rela­tion to this application.

3. Giv­en the agree­ment for the wider site to be the afford­able hous­ing pro­vi­sion for the con­sen­ted hous­ing devel­op­ment at the oth­er site at Lettoch Road (2025/0034/DET), afford­able hous­ing pro­vi­sion has been sat­is­fact­or­ily addressed.

Con­clu­sion

1. This pro­pos­al intro­duces two houses on a plot where there is con­sent for a single detached house with­in a wider approved res­id­en­tial devel­op­ment. Their design, fin­ishes and lay­out are in keep­ing with the wider scheme and the char­ac­ter of the area. There will be no land­scape or envir­on­ment­al impacts and no road safety implic­a­tions. There will be no changes in already approved site levels and the over­all foot­print of devel­op­ment on this plot and as such no fur­ther flood risk.

2. The pro­posed devel­op­ment there­fore com­plies with the rel­ev­ant NPF4 and LDP policies and there are no oth­er mater­i­al con­sid­er­a­tions which out­weigh this con­clu­sion. It is there­fore recom­men­ded that the applic­a­tion be approved.

Recom­mend­a­tion

That mem­bers of the com­mit­tee sup­port a recom­mend­a­tion to APPROVE per­mis­sion for the change of house type (on Plot 17 of plan­ning per­mis­sion 2022/0305/DET) at Nethy­bridge Sta­tion Yard, Sta­tion Road, Nethy Bridge sub­ject to the fol­low­ing conditions:

Con­di­tions

Those con­di­tions lis­ted below in bold text are sus­pens­ive con­di­tions, which require to be dis­charged pri­or to imple­ment­a­tion of the development.

1. The devel­op­ment to which this per­mis­sion relates must be begun not later than the expir­a­tion of three years begin­ning with the date on which the per­mis­sion is granted.

   Reas­on: The time lim­it con­di­tion is imposed in order to com­ply with the require­ments of sec­tion 58 of the Town and Coun­try Plan­ning (Scot­land) Act 1997 as amended.

2. The houses hereby approved shall be delivered and shall remain as afford­able hous­ing units in perpetuity.

   Reas­on: To ensure the deliv­ery of afford­able homes in accord­ance with Policy 16: Qual­ity Homes of the Nation­al Plan­ning Frame­work 4 and Policy 1: New Hous­ing Devel­op­ment of the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan 2021.

Inform­at­ives

1. The per­son under­tak­ing the devel­op­ment is required to give the Plan­ning Author­ity pri­or writ­ten noti­fic­a­tion of the date which it is inten­ded to com­mence the devel­op­ment. Attached to this decision notice is a Notice of Ini­ti­ation of Devel­op­ment for com­ple­tion and sub­mis­sion. Sub­mis­sion of this inform­a­tion assists the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity Mon­it­or­ing and Enforce­ment Officer in mon­it­or­ing act­ive work with­in the area to ensure com­pli­ance with the approved details and to identi­fy and cor­rect any poten­tial prob­lems, as they arise, rather than later when it may be more dif­fi­cult and more costly to rec­ti­fy. Fail­ure to give notice would con­sti­tute a breach of plan­ning con­trol which may res­ult in enforce­ment action being taken.

2. Fol­low­ing com­ple­tion of the devel­op­ment, a noti­fic­a­tion of com­ple­tion shall, as soon as prac­tic­able, be giv­en to the Plan­ning Author­ity.
