This document contains a committee report regarding a planning application for the construction of a sediment trap for flood alleviation at Allt Mhor / Gynack, located on Pitmain Estate, north of Kingussie. The application, submitted by Pitmain Estate, seeks retrospective consent for works already undertaken to create the trap, which aims to capture excess sediment and reduce flooding downstream. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) Ecology Officer and the Highland Council Flood Risk Management Team have reviewed the proposal, with no objections raised, and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has licensed the works. The report recommends approval of the application, subject to adherence to the Sediment Management Plan, to ensure the development is managed effectively and complies with relevant planning policies to mitigate any environmental impacts.
