Planning Committee meeting - Item 7: committee report Aucherteang forest track Muckrach - 14 November 2025

This document contains a committee report from the Cairngorms National Park Authority planning committee on 14 November 2025, regarding a retrospective application to upgrade a forestry track at Land 940M NE of Aucherteang, Carrbridge, on the Muckrach Estate. The report recommends approving the application subject to conditions, including submitting a verge treatment and maintenance plan, avoiding work during the bird breeding season unless supervised by an ecologist, and ensuring any necessary re-seeding uses a specific wildflower mix. The application relates to a 250 metre section of existing track that has already been upgraded to approximately 3.5 metres wide to support a woodland planting project, but additional channel drains are to be installed and the pedestrian gate relocated. The Highland Council has requested adequate replacement tree planting.
