Item8Appendix3aObjection20190215DET

This document contains representations and objections from the Badenoch & Strathspey Conservation Group (BSCG) regarding planning application 2019/0215/DET for the demolition of a house and erection of nine houses with an access track and path in Boat of Garten. The BSCG objects to the proposal, citing concerns about its location outside the Local Development Plan (LDP), the high ecological value of the surrounding woodland (including rare species and habitats), potential disturbance to capercaillie, the use of a septic tank, the vulnerability of a burn connected to the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC) to pollution, and the appropriateness of proposed planting plans. They also raise concerns about the distance of houses to existing trees, and the potential economic sustainability of the proposed affordable rental properties.
