This document contains a letter from the Badenoch & Strathspey Conservation Group (BSCG) to Stephanie Wade at the Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority), dated 10 May 2021. The BSCG is objecting to an application regarding the reconfiguration of the existing car park and the provision of infrastructure for a camper van overnight facility at Cairngorm Mountain Ciste Car Park Glenmore Aviemore Highland PH22 1RB, as they are concerned about the potential negative impact on the local capercaillie population. They argue that the area is a key habitat for this species, and the proposed development would likely increase disturbance and affect their breeding success. The BSCG also highlights concerns with the Visitor Management Plan and Environmental Impact Assessment, stating they do not adequately address the potential harm to capercaillie.
