Item8AASupplementaryGuidanceReport

This document contains a proposal for the Cairngorms National Park Authority Planning Committee to approve the publication of supplementary guidance on housing and developer obligations for a six-week public consultation period. This guidance is intended to support the Local Development Plan 2021 by providing more detail on policies related to housing and developer contributions. Following the consultation, the Park Authority will submit the guidance, along with a statement summarizing publicity measures and comments received, to Scottish Ministers for review. After 28 days, the Park Authority can adopt the supplementary guidance unless directed otherwise by the Scottish Ministers. The guidance aims to address affordable housing shortages and defines required financial contributions from smaller developments, with commuted sums per unit shown in a table for different areas.
