Item8 Kyladrochit Larder 20250238DET Committee Report

This document contains a committee report from the Cairngorms National Park Authority recommending approval for Crown Estate Scotland's proposal to demolish an existing estate larder at Kylnadrochit Lodge, Tomintoul, and build a larger, single-storey replacement with a general-purpose area. The development, which supports the rural economy and estate operations, is acceptable provided certain conditions are met. These conditions ensure that potential environmental impacts are addressed through measures like detailed construction environmental management plans, protected species surveys, and avoiding work during the bird breeding season. The plans also include significant compensatory planting of native trees to replace a small area of low-biodiversity non-native woodland, helping the new building blend into the landscape and enhance biodiversity without significantly impacting nearby historic buildings or the wider Cairngorms National Park.
