Item9AA20230189DETLagganTrackPriorApprovalCommitteeReport
This document contains information about a planning application for prior approval for forestry-related building works (non-residential) at Land At Crathie Lodge Laggan Newtonmore in the Cairngorms National Park. The application, reference number 2023/0189/DET, was submitted by Mr. Kevin Fletcher on 1 May 2023. The recommendation is to approve the application subject to conditions. The proposal is for an ATV/Argo track measuring up to 2m in width and 750m in length for forestry works. A Habitats Regulations Appraisal (HRA) concluded no adverse effect on the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC) with conditions to avoid pollution. NatureScot is satisfied with the HRA conclusion. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) Ecology Officer recommends conditions requiring surveys for protected species and breeding birds before construction. The recommendation is to approve the prior approval subject to conditions, including a Construction Environment Management Plan (CEMP) to protect watercourses, species, and breeding birds. The development must commence within three years of the decision date.
