This document contains an application for prior notification and approval, submitted on 17 November 2019, for work at Crannaich. The application relates to a woodland management plan, previously approved by Scottish Forestry, to improve the habitat for wildlife near Carrbridge. The proposal involves thinning densely planted trees, planting over 800 new trees, and building a forestry structure, approximately 3m x 6m, for secure storage, shelter, and potting Scots pine saplings. The building will be constructed from natural, locally sourced materials and sited in a natural clearing to minimize its visual impact and potential disruption to local capercaillie populations, following RSPB guidelines. The document also includes site plans, location maps, photographs of the site, and design drawings for the forestry structure.
