Resources Non-Statutory Guidance

This document contains non-statutory guidance supporting the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2021. It applies to planning applications within the National Park and should be used when preparing and assessing applications that could impact resources and waste management. The guidance covers topics such as water resources (surface water, supply, quantity, quality and drainage), flooding (risk assessments and management), sewerage connections, waste management and minimisation, landfill, minerals, carbon-rich soils, and contaminated land. It outlines policies and provides advice on how development should support the sustainable conservation, extraction, and use of resources while aligning with the National Park's goals, with proposals assessed against all relevant policies in the Local Development Plan.
