This document contains a local development plan monitoring report for the Cairngorms National Park. It gives an overview of how the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan (LDP) 2015 has been used by both the Cairngorms National Park Authority and local authorities in the area over the past four years. The LDP was adopted in March 2015 and is the first development plan to cover the whole National Park. During the monitoring period, there were 1,480 applications, with the majority being approved, and Policy 3, Sustainable Design, was the most frequently used policy. Information on policy implementation will be monitored annually to help develop future policies, and the current LDP (2015) will be replaced in 2020 after the adoption of a new LDP.
