SEC­TION 1: PUR­POSE AND FORMAT Pur­pose This Action Pro­gramme has been pre­pared to sup­port the deliv­ery of the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan 2015 (LDP). It iden­ti­fies the actions which will help imple­ment the vis­ion, strategy and pro­pos­als of the LDP. It is the Cairngorm Nation­al Park Authority’s (CNPA) main deliv­ery tool for the LDP and will be used to help mon­it­or pro­gress. The Town and Coun­try Plan­ning (Devel­op­ment Plan­ning) (Scot­land) Reg­u­la­tions 2008 requires Action Pro­grammes to set out: • A list of actions required to deliv­er each of the Plan’s key policies and pro­pos­als; • The organ­isa­tion who is to carry out the action; and • The broad times­cale for car­ry­ing out each action. How­ever, Action pro­grammes are now being pro­moted as a key tool for facil­it­at­ing and sup­port­ing devel­op­ment deliv­ery. Scot­tish Plan­ning Policy (2014) emphas­ises that ​‘Action pro­grammes should be act­ively used to drive deliv­ery of planned devel­op­ments: to align stake­hold­ers, phas­ing, fin­an­cing and infra­struc­ture invest­ment over the long term’ (para. 31). The pre­par­a­tion of this Action Pro­gramme has involved con­sult­ing with rel­ev­ant bod­ies to include great­er inform­a­tion about infra­struc­ture require­ments and con­straints which may affect the deliv­ery of sites. Cairngorms Nation­al Park Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan — Action Pro­gramme June 2019 The CNPA want this Action Pro­gramme to be a ​‘live’ doc­u­ment that changes and adapts over time. The CNPA will review and pub­lish a revi­sion of it each year in order to reflect changes on the ground, demon­strate pro­gress or prob­lems in deliv­ery, incor­por­ate new actions and provide up to date inform­a­tion on the status and pro­gress of sites over time for com­munit­ies and developers. The CNPA will also use the Action Pro­gramme to build a clear­er evid­ence base for the each of the alloc­ated sites in the LDP, identi­fy­ing con­straints, or costs of devel­op­ing sites and ways of resolv­ing them. That inform­a­tion will be updated in each review of the Action Pro­gramme and avail­able for developers and com­munit­ies. Format The Action Pro­gramme has six main sec­tions: Sec­tion Page

The role of part­ners The Action Pro­gramme is pre­pared by the CNPA as the author­ity that pre­pares the Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan for the Nation­al Park. How­ever, the CNPA is only one of many pub­lic bod­ies, private developers, landown­ers and com­munit­ies who are respons­ible for deliv­er­ing actions with­in it. For example, most loc­al author­it­ies com­bine the roles of plan­ning author­ity with hous­ing author­ity, roads author­ity, edu­ca­tion author­ity and deliv­ery of ser­vices, each of which may help deliv­er the LDP for an area. In the Cairngorms Nation­al Park, the loc­al author­it­ies con­tin­ue to do all those roles, with the CNPA shar­ing parts of the plan­ning author­ity role. This means that our Action Pro­gramme relies heav­ily on the work of the loc­al author­it­ies and oth­er pub­lic bod­ies as well as the own­ers of land, private developers and com­munit­ies. There are too many to identi­fy in detail, but some of the key roles are sum­mar­ised below: Sum­mary of part­ner roles Part­ner Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity • • • Respons­ible for: Coordin­a­tion of deliv­ery, mon­it­or­ing and review of LDP and Action Pro­gramme.

when act­ing as a developer) Com­munit­ies • Secure oth­er required con­sents. • • • and oth­er • groups • Keep plan­ning author­ity informed of pro­gress or prob­lems with sites. Secure fund­ing, man­age devel­op­ment pro­cess through to com­ple­tion and dis­pos­al or sale of prop­er­ties. Engage in LDP pre­par­a­tion and con­sulta­tions. Devel­op and review Com­munity Action Plans. Estab­lish com­munity devel­op­ment com­pan­ies to coordin­ate and devel­op pro­jects. Links to oth­er Plans and Strategies The Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan and Action Pro­gramme help to deliv­er the plans and strategies of many organ­isa­tions and for many issues across the Nation­al Park. In par­tic­u­lar, the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan sets the con­text for the LDP and is the plan that coordin­ates the work of many part­ners in the Nation­al Park. The imple­ment­a­tion of the LDP and Action Pro­gramme con­trib­ute to many of the Part­ner­ship Plan’s out­comes and pro­grammes. Oth­er plans or strategies pre­pared for the Cairngorms Nation­al Park that will also sup­port the imple­ment­a­tion of the LDP include: • Nation­al Park Eco­nom­ic Strategy Tour­ism Action Plan for the Cairngorms Nation­al Park • The Nation­al Park Cap­it­al Invest­ment Plan • • Cairngorms Nature Strategy and Action Plan • Core Paths Plan Cairngorms Nation­al Park Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan – Action Pro­gramme June 2019 Oth­er plans and strategies that are closely linked include: • The loc­al author­it­ies’ Hous­ing Strategies, and Stra­tegic Hous­ing Invest­ment Plans • Region­al Trans­port Strategies • Area Waste Plans • Loc­al Author­ity cap­it­al invest­ment plans • Com­munity Action Plans • Plans of Com­munity Plan­ning Part­ner­ships • Catch­ment Man­age­ment Plans Review of the Action Pro­gramme The CNPA will review and repub­lish the Action Pro­gramme annu­ally. We expect the Action Pro­gramme to evolve over the life of the LDP as it is imple­men­ted, as sites move for­ward, and part­ners focus work around the Action Pro­gramme. 3

Pro­gress Com­plete. The CNPA pro­moted the pro­posed LDP con­sulta­tion through drop-in ses­sions and a sig­ni­fic­ant web and social media cam­paign. The drop-in ses­sions were an effect­ive way of inform­ing people of the LDP pro­cess and to provide cla­ri­fic­a­tion about the pro­cess. The web and social media cam­paigns have sig­ni­fic­antly increased the light engage­ment with the pro­cess and provided people with easy-to-reach inform­a­tion: • Dur­ing the cam­paign we pub­lished 94 posts to Face­book, Twit­ter and Ins­tagram and uploaded 22 dif­fer­ent videos to You­Tube and Face­book. • Col­lect­ively these posts made 153,782 impres­sions across the • 3 net­works (Face­book, Twit­ter, Ins­tagram).

It is set out by set­tle­ment and includes ​‘anti­cip­ated infra­struc­ture & afford­able hous­ing require­ments’ where known which apply at a set­tle­ment level as well as more detailed updates on a site by site basis. This sec­tion includes all cur­rent alloc­a­tions includ­ing hous­ing, eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment, tour­ism and com­munity. Exist­ing per­mis­sions (iden­ti­fied as ​‘EP’ sites) are also included how­ever some sites have plan­ning per­mis­sion that has been gran­ted over 3 years ago, how­ever in many cases these have been imple­men­ted through the start­ing of con­struc­tion or ser­vi­cing of sites. Infra­struc­ture require­ments Each site has also been assessed in respect of flood­ing, roads, water & drain­age, elec­tri­city and edu­ca­tion under the infra­struc­ture require­ments head­ing. These have been informed through con­sulta­tion with the rel­ev­ant author­it­ies and each site has been col­our coded to reflect its level of con­straint. No sig­ni­fic­ant infra­struc­ture con­straints affect­ing deliv­ery of the site. Mod­er­ate con­straints or fur­ther assess­ment required to determ­ine the extent of con­straint. Appro­pri­ate mit­ig­a­tion meas­ures required. Sig­ni­fic­ant infra­struc­ture or oth­er con­straints that will make the devel­op­ment undeliv­er­able. 22
