SUB­MIS­SION ON WOOD­LAND BUILD­ING — 2019/0386/NOT

C&VCC have grave reser­va­tions about this applic­a­tion. Whilst we acknow­ledge the degree of plan­ning, research and detail con­tained in the sub­mis­sion, which would improve the well-being of that spe­cif­ic wood­land area, we feel that approv­al could lead to a pleth­ora of sim­il­ar­build­ing applic­a­tions, a move which we feel would be det­ri­ment­al to the wood­land envir­on­ment and to caper­cail­lie viab­il­ity. We are sur­prised at the appar­ent approv­al giv­en by RSPB, being of the opin­ion that devel­op­ment of this type is con­trary to the aims and object­ives of the CNPA-sponsored ​“Caper­cail­lie Group”, a pro­ject which we believe receives major­ity sup­port in the village.

Any small build­ing required for the devel­op­ment and pre­par­a­tion of seeds etc could surely be acco­mod­ated in the vicin­ity with­in Car­rbridge, thereby obvi­at­ing the require­ment to have any struc­ture with­in the wood­land environment.
