CNPA refuses Mossie housing development

CNPA refuses Mossie housing development

The planning committee of the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) has refused an application for 193 houses in Grantown-on-Spey at its meeting in Boat of Garten this morning (Friday 5 March).

The recommendation put forward by planning officers was to refuse the application to develop the area known locally as “The Mossie”.  Planning committee members turned down the proposals because of the potential for flooding, the area’s high nature conservation value especially for breeding waders and invertebrates, and the unsuitability of the design of the proposed houses.

To access this planning paper in full please go to the Planning Committe meeting, Paper 1.

Road closures are still in place as part of ongoing efforts to tackle wildfires to the north of the Cairngorms National Park.
