Item8Appendix2bGeneral20190113DET

This document contains comments from the North East Mountain Trust (NEMT) regarding planning application 2019/0113/DET for alterations to a hill track at Meall Tionail Access Track, Blair Atholl. NEMT, a Scottish charity representing hill-goers and climbers, expresses disappointment that a central vegetation strip was not created during track maintenance, as this would have reduced the visual impact on the landscape. They also believe further restoration is needed for borrow pits and commend the Cairngorms National Park Authority for requiring a retrospective application, signaling that full applications are necessary for track work beyond routine maintenance, especially when used for sporting purposes.
