This document contains a planning application submitted to the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) for the installation of two new tube slides and the extension and realignment of an existing tube slide at the Coire Cas Car Park on Cairngorm Mountain. The application seeks temporary planning permission until 1 November 2021. While some concerns were raised regarding the landscape impact and coordination with a broader masterplan, the Park Authority's planning officer recommends approval, subject to conditions relating to user safety, visual impact and adherence to planning policies promoting economic growth and recreation. They believe the benefits to visitor experience and economic sustainability outweigh the minor landscape impact, and that delaying the decision for a masterplan would be unreasonable.
