Item9AppealDecision20210168DETGlenClova

This document contains an appeal decision from the Scottish Ministers regarding a planning application for the erection of eight holiday lodges and a plant/storage building in Glen Clova, Angus. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) previously refused the application, and the appeal was made by Mr. Hugh Niven. The appeal was dismissed as the Reporter concluded that the proposed development would not conserve or enhance the landscape character and special landscape qualities of the Cairngorms National Park and was therefore contrary to policies within the adopted Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2021. While the Reporter acknowledged potential economic benefits, they were outweighed by the adverse impact on the landscape and visual amenity of the area.
