Cairngorms Planning Advice Note: Speaking at Planning Committee - June 2022

This document contains information about speaking at the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) Planning Committee. The Planning Committee meets every four weeks to make decisions on planning applications. If you want to speak at a meeting, you must register at least seven calendar days before the meeting. You can speak as an applicant, a supporter, an objector, or a community council representative, with each speaker getting up to 10 minutes. When speaking, focus on the facts and impacts of the proposed development, but avoid private property rights, property values, or the applicant's motives. You can present information digitally by sending a PDF or PowerPoint to the planning support team by 12 noon on the Tuesday before the meeting, and if you miss the meeting or the application is deferred after one meeting, you lose your opportunity to speak.
