This document contains a Habitats Regulations Appraisal for the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) for agenda item 7, appendix 2, dated 28 August 2020. The appraisal concerns the erection of 40 houses on a site within the 2015-2020 Local Development Plan. The document assesses the potential impact of the development on various European sites and species, including the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Insh Marshes SAC, and several Special Protection Areas (SPAs) like Cairngorms SPA. The appraisal concludes that the development could have a significant effect on some sites, particularly regarding otter disturbance, pollution, and water abstraction, and requires additional mitigation measures and surveys prior to planning permission being granted.
