Next set of Local Development Plan surveys open for feedback
Next set of Local Development Plan surveys open for feedback
The next set of surveys has been launched to collect views on issues affecting the people who live and work in the Cairngorms National Park, to inform our next Local Development Plan.
The play, sport and recreation surveys are now live alongside those on blue and green infrastructure and policy monitoring. The surveys will be open to comments until Friday, 31 October 2025.
The Local Development Plan, a statutory requirement for the Park Authority, helps guide development in the National Park, including where affordable housing and community facilities will go.
People who live and work in the National Park can use the dedicated Local Development Plan website to provide feedback on a series of topics that will go live in stages.
If you have any questions about the Local Development Plan, completing the surveys or would like to share your views over the phone or in writing, please email [email protected]
