Planning Committee site visits

This document contains guidance on Planning Committee site visits within the Cairngorms National Park. These visits help Committee Members understand planning applications in context, and are typically arranged for complicated or contentious developments. The Planning Service notifies interested parties who are welcome to attend, and the visit is overseen by the Committee Convener and a Planning Officer. Attendees are expected to follow specific guidelines, including maintaining objectivity, communicating through the Convener, and adhering to health and safety instructions. The Planning Officer prepares a risk assessment to ensure everyone's safety during the visit.
