I further point out that the change to 16.2ha from the original 10.99ha, is a change due to the inclusion by CNPA of areas E2, and E3 areas which did not form part of development land PAGE 6 on the Aberdeenshire CC Local Plan. This change should be properly delineated as a change from the ACC Local Plan.

Another significant change is the alteration of Policy 30 (integrated and sustainable transport network) to become new policy 30 - Provision of Sites for Gypsies/Travellers and Travelling show people. This and other amendments are of a substantial nature and require proper clear consultation with local residents. 3. The final deposit plan (second amendment) is not available on the CNPA website. There is only a list of amendments which are ambiguous in their meaning. 4. I do not believe that the consultations meet the various Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Acts and Code of Practice for Local Plan Inquiries and have not been able to get confirmation of this from the CNPA. The CNPA does not appear to meet the National Standards for Community Engagement PAGE 13 which are endorsed by COSLA and Aberdeenshire Council amongst others. 5. despite a number of requests for clarification, I have been unable to get a response from the National Park Authority to adequately show how the local plan in Ballater meets the requirements of the National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000, and the various affordable housing reports commissioned by the Authority.

We would suggest that this definition of Brownfield land should be amended to reflect the nationally recognised definition recently contained in Scottish Planning Policy 3 'Planning for Homes (July 2008): 'land which has been previously developed. The term may cover vacant or derelict land, infill sites, land occupied by redundant or unused buildings, and developed land within the settlement boundary where further intensification of use is considered acceptable'. Brownfield land includes any land that has previously been used, and is not restricted to purely industrial or commercial uses. The glossary should be amended to reflect this. Objector Ref 394p Agent Name Steve Crawford Name The Proprietors of Mar Centre Company The Proprietors of Mar Centre Policy/site ref mods Glossary - brownfield land response to 2nd mods most of the other changes are minimal. The only exception may be the CNPA's new definition of 'brownfield' land in the glossary, which doesn’t follow the national definition. It effectively removes ex- housing land from the definition and applies the definition to commercial land only. The purpose of this seems to be to make policies 24 and 25 work together. We believe that altering the definition of 'brownfield' to suit policies is the wrong way round. The policies should be altered to fit the national definition.

I would be most grateful if you could clarify your comment regarding my objection and the allocation of land for housing in Aviemore. It was never my intention to oppose the allocation of land for house building in Aviemore or in any settlement. My addition to sub para a) in Policy 7 was an attempt to prevent the building of wind farms, or any other development that destroys the appearance of wilderness that is such an essential part of the Park. However, I am equally opposed to any additional high rise building in the Aviemore Centre. Presenting my case - I confirm that I wish to use written representation. Subject to your clarification of the land for housing issue mentioned above, there is nothing more I wish to add to what I have already submitted. Do you need anything more in writing to you?

This change appears to represent a significant relaxation in terms offered to the developer, and an unacceptable increase in the burden on UK tax payers. Further it puts at risk the reasonable aspirations of local people to access affordable housing. Objector Ref 535a Name Gordon Chaplin 6 Morven Way Ballater, AB35 5SF Policy/site ref mods Policy 21 response to 2nd mods I wish to object to the late change and reduction in the number of affordable houses contained in the local plan and would ask why this has occurred at such a late date. I came to live in Ballater in the summer of 2006 and was therefore unaware of the rise in planned housing. I has acquired a copy of the finalised Aberdeenshire Local Plan together with your October 2005 CNP Local Plan and noticed at the time the area H1 for planned future development, was similar in both documents. I was unaware of any further actions on the plan, until I was invited to attend a meeting at the end of September about 250 new houses in Ballater. In a subsequent meeting which was attended by National Park representatives much emphasis was placed by them on the legal requirement for public notification of your actions. I have no doubt that you have observed the letter of the law but would question whether much energy was expended in also observing the spirit of the law. Objector Ref 076b Name Bryan Wright Ballater (RD) Ltd 7 Bridge Street Ballater, AB35 5QP Policy/site ref mods Policy 21 PAGE 39 response to 2nd mods Second, we refer to page 40, paragraph 5.28. The late addition of the identity of two important sources of information on such a critical matter as housing demand, at this late stage in the consultation process, is not acceptable and we wish to register an objection, on the grounds that it leaves too little time for concerned parties in the Community to examine these information sources in order to assure themselves of the integrity of the decisions made by the CNPA with respect to housing matters. We therefore request that, now these information sources have been revealed, the second modifications be given a further period of consultation. Third, we refer to page 43, policy 21, 2nd paragraph. In principle, we endorse the new statement that “Development solely for affordable housing will be favourably considered”, if this is accompanied by withdrawal of site H1 for housing allocation. If site H1 is retained for housing allocation, then we object to the new statement, on the grounds that it implies the building of public sector housing which would be additional to the housing at site H1. With respect to the concept of “Development solely for affordable housing” we would urge the CNPA to apply more creative energy than has been evident so far to this approach to addressing the real housing issue that confronts Ballater which is access to affordable housing for local people. We strongly suspect that the concept of “Development solely for affordable housing” could offer a more cost effective route (in terms of the net unit cost of affordable homes) to satisfying the needs of Ballater people for affordable housing than that achievable under the current CNPA strategy, which involves paying large public subsidies to a developer to damage the environment of Ballater by building houses which the Community does not need or want. Further, we believe that, if the concept of “Development solely for affordable housing” were combined with the removal of Ballater area H1 from the housing land allocation, and efforts were made vigorously to pursue opportunities for intelligent “brown field” and infill developments, then the recommendation by the Prince’s Foundation of 28 September 2007, that “social housing should not be clustered in groups of more than about 5 units to avoid creation of social divides” could be achieved more naturally than would be possible with mass development in area H1. It would also give the added benefit of resolving much of the public opposition regarding the housing proposals for Ballater, provided area H1 and the land beyond it is dedicated to amenity/recreational use in perpetuity. Fourth, we refer to page 43, policy 21, 2nd paragraph. We object to the change of wording from: “Where public funding is available to help fund affordable housing, the overall affordable contribution of the development will be expected to be 40%, with any shortfall between the public subsidised element and 40% target to be made up by the developer”to: “Where public funding is available to help provide affordable housing, between 25% and 40% of all units will be expected to be affordable”. This change appears to represent a significant relaxation in the terms offered to the developer, and an unacceptable increase in the burden on UK tax payers. Further, it jeopardises the realisation of the reasonable aspirations of local people for access to affordable housing. The reason given for this change (current market conditions) does not appear to justify the CNPA’s increasingly lavish generosity towards the developer with tax payers’ money. This is especially worrying, as there appears to be only one developer in contention for the associated work. The combination of noncompetitive arrangements for developer selection, together with sudden and significant changes in the financial incentives for the sole developer, must surely be a cause for public concern for proper appropriation of public funds. It may also raise concerns in relation to compliance with EU legislation. We request that this change be reversed, or that a comprehensive statement of the sums involved be included in an amendment to the second modifications, to be re-issued for a further period of consultation, thereby enabling the public to assure itself of the financial integrity and equitability of the proposals. Fifth, we refer to page 46, paragraph 5.58, 2nd sentence. We object to the reference made to the findings of the report “Planning for Affordable Housing in the Cairngorms National Park” by Communities Scotland, March 2008, as the reference for the declared approach, which is to take a benchmark of 75% two and three bed units in the absence of firm information on specific housing needs. This is not appropriate, because: a) it is not supported by the statements made in the referenced report and b) recent inquiries to Aberdeenshire Council showed that, at 1st October 2008, of all applicants for housing in Ballater (as a location of first choice) 67% requested one bedroom units and 22% sought two bed units. We offer this finding as new evidence. It appears that the adoption of 75% two and three bed units is clearly inappropriate.

I wish to register my objections to the CNP local plan in its entirety concerning the proposal to build houses on the green field site to the east of Ballater, destroying and denying to future generations, one of the few remaining jewels left in the Highlands of Scotland. However, and more specifically I wish you to acknowledge and register my objections to amendments 1 and 2, policy 30 (complete) and policy 21 (2nd and 3rd para) concerning the provision of sites for gypsies/travellers and travelling show people. And also respectively the reduction from 40% to 25% or less of affordable homes by any future developer depending on available public funding. It would appear that whilst attempting to ‘bend over backwards’ and attract developers at any cost, you would also like the public to pay for this gross folly. As office holders and bearers of the future of our Park, you should be asking ‘what can they do for you, and not what can you do for them’! On this matter and as an entity the CNPA not only show a distinct lack of awareness of three of your stated and mandated aims: PAGE 42 1. to conserve and enhance the natural and cultural heritage of the area 2. to promote sustainable use of natural resources of the area 3. to promote understanding and enjoyment (including enjoyment in the form of recreation) of the special qualities of the area by the public. But also a poor understanding of the rudiments of business! Will it actually enhance the environs of Ballater? Quite plainly no! will it pour money into the developers pockets? Yes! What then is your legacy to future generations. What is quite plain to everyone is that this is a ‘top down’ easy solution rather than ‘bottom up’ endeavour i.e. the landowners and the developer have laid it all out before the CNPA saving your months if not years of honest work, office holders must now ask themselves at what point will you acknowledge manipulation. Although a set quota of affordable homes are most definitely required for the Cairngorms national park, these do not need to be built on ‘green field’ sites there being many brown sites available with existing infrastructure already in place and crying out for development, which would truly enhance and benefit our environment. Yes we want our local people to live in affordable homes and stay in the area but the answer is not to destroy a truly unique highland village in the process we do not wish it and nor would they want it in their name. Objector Ref 537d Name Victor Jordan 2 Oakleigh Albert Road Ballater, AB35 5QL Policy/site ref mods Policy 21 response to 2nd mods Page 43 policy 21 2nd para the proposed wording is ambiguous. I suggest “The developer will be required to provide 25% of the units on a site as affordable housing”. Page 44 para 5.44 3rd sentence I object to the removal of the sentiment of the third sentence. I suggest that following the precedent set by the new second paragraph of policy 21, the third sentence should read “in doing so schemes which promote 40% of units as affordable housing for which local people will be preferred will be favourably considered”. Page 44 para 5.46 I object to the removal of the phrase in question which is consistent as it stands with policy 21 as modified by the 2nd modifications Objector Ref 536 Name Mr and Mrs S Barns 12 Monaltrie Close Ballater, AB35 5PT Policy/site ref mods Policy 21 response to 2nd mods We would like to submit our objection to the planned building of 250 houses to the northeast of Monaltrie Park Ballater as detailed in the CNPA Local Plan 2nd amendment. Our objections are as follows: 1. regarding the amendment to page 40 para 5.28 – why was the identity of the publications omitted from the Deposit CNP Local Plan initial issue? we wish to strongly object to the withholding of the source of important documents that the housing policy has been based on. This action has mislead us into not submitting objections within the timescale permitting objections. As there could obviously be other residents similar to us, we submit that the consultation period should be recommenced to allow for new objections to be submitted. Reason: these documents clearly contain information that demonstrates there is no requirement for an additional 250 houses to be built in the village of Ballater. 2. page 43 policy 21 2nd para – we are appalled by this dramatic change and we cannot understand why. Affordable housing for local people is the one item that Ballater needs and craves. We considered the 40% to be barely acceptable considering the makeup of the Ballater village and the greater requirement. But previously we envisaged that the 40% mark was guaranteed as the developer would fund these houses out of their own finances, because we suspect that it is most unlikely that there will be any public funding available. But the change to “Where public funding is PAGE 43 available to help provide affordable housing between 25% and 40% of all units will be expected to be affordable” is completely unacceptable as it puts no onus on the developer to supply affordable housing at all. In summary we are shocked and horrified by the impact these changes will have on supplying what Ballater requires. It is our belief that they are so enormous to insist that the Cairngorms National park Local Plan be withdrawn. It should then be reviewed also taking into consideration the dramatic effect that the world wide recession is having and reissued as the formal deposit Cairngorms National Park Local Plan and recommence the start of the formal statutory process at that point. Objector Ref 533 Name Mr and Mrs Burrows 15 Pannanich Road Ballater, AB35 5PA Policy/site ref mods Policy 21 response to 2nd mods I would like to express my objections to the changes within the Second Modifications as they seem at odds with the stated aim of the need for affordable homes within the National Park. I take as my reason the removal of targeted percentages within this modification in 5.44 and 5.46. Within the original submission between 99 and 132 affordable homes were flagged per annum in 5.31, thus taken over the timetime of the plan takes this to between 1990 and 1320 units. Taking your calculations in table 4 of 3365 units means that to achieve your stated goal that between 29 and 39% of build will have to be affordable, therefore the removal of percentages devalues the objective and I feel needs re-enforcing not watering down to benefit a developer. Secondly your changes to Policy 21are at odds whereby your paragraph starting "Development solely for affordable housing will be favourably considered" concludes "where public funding is available to help provide affordable housing, between 25% and 40% of all units will be expected to be affordable." This is contractiction as it is eithe a development soley for affordable housing or it is a mixed development, your changes have created a hybrid that means nothing and needs rewriting to read "development solely for affordable housing will be favourably considered". Objector Ref 532 Name W J Romilly Allandale, Morven Way Ballater, AB35 5SF Policy/site ref mods Policy 21 response to 2nd mods My concern as regards the above is with particular reference to Ballater. Where the argument presented by the Planning Department is that the planned housing development of some 95 houses is necessary in order that low cost housing might be provided within the scheme. However I note that there is now a change. Page 43 Policy 21 whereby the percentage of affordable housing required by the developer to provide has now been reduced from around 40% to as low as 25%. Equally the thought of an increase to the number of private houses what will result to almost 70 within the development, being for occupation for the retired or holiday homes is not exactly a dynamic vision for Ballater in the future. So it is to this changed and reduced figure of 25% that I wish to register my formal objection. Objector Ref 531a Name Graham Adams Heathcourt, Morven Way Ballater, AB35 5SF Policy/site ref mods Policy 21 response to 2nd mods I wish to object to the modifications affecting Ballater for several reasons. 1. the changes are significant and wide ranging. You have stated in correspondence on the changes that the 'changes focus mainly on points of clarification and error' this is clearly not the case. For instance the changes to Policy 21 significantly reduces the possible quantity of affordable housing from 40% to 25%. At a recent meeting with the deputy convenor (Mr Eric Baird) to discuss the second PAGE 44 amendments he consistently stated that the affordable housing would be 40% but that there would be no guarantee of any figure. The CNPA representative also said that the CNPA had no funding available and that allowing developers to build profitable houses was the only way to create affordable housing. This conflicts with the information in the Local Plan FAQs.

I would confirm at this stage that Muir Homes Limited retains its objections to the plan for those reasons set out within the representation submitted by TMS Planning and Development Services dated July 2008. Muir Homes Limited will wish all of its objections to be considered as part of the Local Plan PLI process and is likely to wish to support some objections in the form of oral evidence at a hearing with the remainder by further written submissions. This position will be clarified in due course. elated specifically to the “2nd Modifications to the Deposit Local Plan” the further following objections are made: Page 45 policy 22, b) – here it is stated in effect that new housing development will be supported where it “is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses”. It is difficult to envisage a situation where a site to be developed will be compatible with its existing use i.e. how can a residential development be compatible with, for instance, agricultural land. If developed for housing the “existing” use would effectively be extinguished and therefore there is no compatibility. The modification relating to adjacent land uses is understood albeit if an allocated site compatibility of use would be assumed to have already been assessed and accepted. Page 46 paragraph 5.58 – in addition to previous comments related to this paragraph, it is considered to be a very naïve means of trying to determine the form of housing to be provided. Numbers of bedrooms do not necessarily determine property size or cost. In addition, meeting lifetime needs is a major part of housing policy and such restrictions may not help to this end.

I refer you to the changes indicated in appendix page 8 of your letter and point out that "page 68 , Ballater ..."is in fact page 72, page 68 refers to Kingussie. I further point out that the change to 16.2ha from the original 10.99ha, is a change due to the inclusion by CNPA of areas E2, and E3 areas which did not form part of development land on the Aberdeenshire CC Local Plan. This change should be properly delineated as a change from the ACC Local Plan.

Objector Ref 370b Agent Name Lorraine Jones Name Cooperative Group Property Division Policy/site ref mods Policy 28 response to 2nd mods We also wish to maintain our previous objection (370b) to Policy 28 which states that small local shops (under a specific floor level, for example 200 sq. m gross floorspace) should be exempt from the sequential approach. This would reflect their nature and character as local shops and allow them to be situated outwith town centres in areas where there is an identified or likely need for such a scale of provision. It is also considered that the revised part b) of Policy 28 should in making reference to “other sites within settlements” include out of centre sites as well as edge of centre sites to ensure consistency with national guidance on the sequential approach contained within SPP8.We note from your most recent correspondence that the Authority has contacted the Scottish Government to request the services of a reporter to assist in the final consideration of the Local Plan through a Public Local Inquiry. In light of this we wish to confirm that our client wishes to use the written information submitted to date to form the basis of a Written Submission to the Local Plan Inquiry.

Objector Ref 370a Agent Name Lorraine Jones Name Cooperative Group Property Division Policy/site ref mods Policy 28 response to 2nd mods We write on behalf of our client the Co-operative Property Group in response to your correspondence of 05 November 2008 inviting comments or additional objections to the Second modifications to the Deposit Cairngorms National Park Local Plan. Our previous correspondence to the Deposit Local Plan and First Modifications related to Policy 28 – Retail Development. The Second Modifications include alterations to Policy 28, which we acknowledge reflect some of our previous representations. We therefore welcome the Second modifications as published. However, whilst the changes to the policy address the concerns raised to an extent, we would like to take this opportunity to highlight those matters that remain outstanding as maintained objections. As per our original objection (370a) we believe that Part a) of Policy 28 should encourage retail and commercial development in town centres and that the policy as drafted appears to present a presumption against such development. We suggest therefore that retails development be removed from the sentence which requires development to “add to the economic and vitality…” as it should be considered that all new retail development will contribute to the economic growth, vitality and viability of the town centre, within which it is proposed.

Your explanation during the telephone our telephone conversation on 10th December, that the pre-existing policies 30 to 36 have now become policies 31 to 37 respectively is not supported by the documentation accompanying your letter of 5 November. As one of many non-drivers living within the Park area, I am in need of the support offered by an effective transport network and such a policy would seem to be far more central to the needs of CNP residents than provision of facilities for travelling people. I therefore object to the manner in which this useful policy has been eliminated from the Local Plan and request that it be re-instated.

Having considered this, I am not satisfied that the objections (dated 27th September 2007) in respect of the first Modifications have been adequately addressed. These sought adjustments to the Proposals Map (Aviemore) and some explanatory text. In so far as the Second Modifications indicate, I understand matters to be as follows: H1 has been adjusted in part, but does not reflect the full extent of the deficiencies which were identified for the Park Authority’s consideration. C2 remains as was. The adjustment suggested to the Park Authority which would embrace C2 within the wider masterplan (ED3) is not addressed nor explained. As it stands, C2 is not consistent with the emerging masterplan. In similar vein, the parcel previously annotated OS1, south west of the Four Seasons Hotel, is not embraced as part of ED3, as suggested. Rather it is now annotated ENV and may be less favourable to the AHR interests for that. the suggested text changes to ED3 are not made. In addition, land north and south of the AHR also suggested as being suitable for embracing within ED3 is neither addressed nor explained. The objections lodged on behalf of AHR are therefore sustained. In addition, the above change from OS to ENV potentially adversely affects the AHR interest and we therefore lodge objection to that second modification. Your letter invites confirmation that the objection would be heard in a verbal session, as previous intimated. I confirm this and am content with an informal hearing rather than formal Inquiry.

I may amplify my previous objection as a written representation to the Reporter. I enclose copies of my previous objection letters. One additional point has occurred to me. If you look at the Aviemore map enclosed I have highlighted in pink, an open space amongst the existing housing. This area was originally left as an amenity area by the developers (Barratts) and was maintained by them (grass cutting, general tidying up) for many years. The trees and shrubs have since matured and the area is now if a fairly wild state. I feel it should receive attention from your green pen and have ENV status awarded, to protect this small enclave of greenery from any future housing development.

Objector Ref 462c Name Phillip John Swan 30 Monaltrie Avenue Ballater, AB35 5RX Policy/site ref mods Settlements - Ballater response to 2nd mods Third, I refer to page 43, policy 21, 2nd paragraph. In principle, I endorse the new statement that “Development solely for affordable housing will be favourably considered”, if this is accompanied by withdrawal of site H1 for housing allocation. If site H1 is retained for housing allocation, then I object to the new statement, on the grounds that it implies the building of public sector housing which would be additional to the housing at site H1. With respect to the concept of “Development solely for affordable housing” I would urge the CNPA to apply more creative energy than has been evident so far to this approach to addressing the real housing issue that confronts Ballater which is access to affordable housing for local people. I strongly suspect that the concept of “Development solely for affordable housing” could offer a more cost effective route (in terms of the net unit cost of affordable homes) to satisfying the needs of Ballater people for affordable housing than that achievable under the current CNPA strategy, which involves paying large public subsidies to a developer to damage the environment of Ballater by building houses which the Community does not need or want. Further, I believe that, if the concept of “Development solely for affordable housing” were combined with the removal of Ballater area H1 from the housing land allocation, and efforts were made vigorously to pursue opportunities for intelligent “brown field” and infill developments, then the recommendation by the Prince’s Foundation of 28 September 2007, that “social housing should not be clustered in groups PAGE 76 of more than about 5 units to avoid creation of social divides” could be achieved more naturally than would be possible with mass development in area H1. It would also give the added benefit of resolving much of the public opposition regarding the housing proposals for Ballater, provided area H1 and the land beyond it is dedicated to amenity/recreational use in perpetuity. Objector Ref 091a Name Jane Angus Company Ballater & Crathie Community Darroch Den Hawthorn Place, Ballater, AB35 5QH Policy/site ref mods Settlements - Ballater response to 2nd mods Ballater and Crathie Community Council wishes to continue with the previous objections. Ballater and Crathie Community Council still considers the Craigendarroch complex as part of our settlement because they share and use the same public services. The area between Monaltrie House and the first Scotia Homes development should be maintained as part of a 'greenway' from Craigendarroch Hill to the Dee. Many people in Ballater enjoying the present size and ambience of the area strongly oppose further eastern enlargement. However a majority very much want to see the established need for social and affordable housing to be fulfilled and a more balanced demographic community maintained. With the present financial regime this requires private development at the same time. The work of the Prince's Foundation for building offers a reasonable opportunity to discuss methods of retaining community cohesion and the least removal of land from food production with sustainable uses of resouces, including energy. Ballater and Crathie Community Council wishes to see further discussion of the CNPA design guide and business opportunities in full consultation of plans by the whole community.

Whilst you say that there are no major changes of policy, my reading of the changes is that the changes to page 43 policy 21 are fundamental as far as the housing proposals for Ballater are concerned. As a recent meeting in the village your vice convenor, Mr Eric Baird stated that the primary driver for the housing proposal is the need for more affordable housing. A requirement of 40% affordable housing in the development was quoted. It appears now that this could now be as low as 25%. It is to this change I now wish to register my objection.

In respect of the main changes that have been sought as part of this objection we can now confirm as follows: 1. Maintain objection in respect of moving the settlement boundary to the north and north west of the adopted local plan housing allocations at West Terrace and Ardvonie Road. 2. maintain objections in respect of the need to include sites: a) south of St Vincent’s Hospital for 4 houses; b) west of Ardvonie Road and north of West Terrace for a site for 4 houses; and c) north east of Ardbroilach Road where a site for a further 4 houses was requested. 3. withdraw in respect of the inclusion of land north of the property known as Ardchoile, West Terrace within the general settlement development area as a gap or infill housing opportunity. 4. withdraw on the assumption that the additional woodland areas at West Terrace and St Vincent’s lying within the suggested settlement boundary are now outwith the settlement and protected or maintained by other policies for woodland safeguarding. 5. withdraw in respect of indication of footpaths south of site 2(a) and east of site 2(c). The restriction of all future house building other than on smaller sites to the expansion land to the north east of the village will mean that the Local Plan as it relates to Kingussie fails to provide an effective land supply of land in the village until at least 2011. this in turn will increase the housing shortage and further exacerbate a situation which is not conducive to attracting business investment and the creation of jobs in the National Park area.

Objector Ref 433b Agent Name Paul Evans Name Mr L Aardenburgh c/o Savills 55 York Place Perth PH2 8EH Policy/site ref mods Settlements - Kingussie H1 response to 2nd mods I am writing with reference to your letter of 5th November 2008 and our subsequent conversation to submit an objection on behalf of Mr L Aardenburg to the wording change proposed in the Second Modifications to the Cairngorms National Park Deposit Local Plan on Page 72, Kingussie Proposal KG/H1 paragraph iii. Mr Aardenburgh objects to the wording change proposed in the Second Modifications to the Cairngorms National Park Deposit Local Plan on Page 72, Kingussie Proposals KG/H1 paragraph iii. The land shown allocated in Figure 1 for residential development (site H1) on the extract from the Proposals map for Kingussie as modified by the Deposit Local Plan Second Modifications is allocated for this use in the current adopted local plan, the Badenoch and Strathspey Local Plan (adopted September 1997). The land area allocated is more extensive in the current local plan than as allocated in the Cairngorms National Park Deposit Local Plan though this still remains a significant development site at up to 300 residential units. Further land is allocated in the current local plan for employment uses and following the consultation process at an earlier stage in the development of the Cairngorms national Park Deposit Local Plan, part of this allocation was re-instated in the Cairngorms National Park Deposit Local Plan. It is the clear intention in the current local plan that this significant development area is to be accessed from the A86 and this intention has been maintained throughout the development of the Cairngorms National Park Deposit Local Plan, which until the Second Modifications has consistently maintained clear wording to establish this access requirement. We fully support the view of the National Park Authority as expressed prior to the Second modifications. As site out in the Technical Note produced by Messers Fairhurst, transportation consultants, attached as appendix A, a development of this significance will require construction of an access road of local distributor standard. No additional accesses are proposed onto the A86, the existing access to properties including Kerrow Cottage being incorporated into the upgraded access, which as advised by Messers. Fairhurst is likely to incorporate a ghost island right-turn lane. Full consultation with Transport Scotland will be undertaken through the development appraisal process and a Transport Assessment will be undertaken to ensure development of this site does not create an unacceptable cumulative impact on the A86 or A9. Discussions have been held with the National Park Authority and Highland Council Roads and Community Works Department on this issue. It is clear from these discussions and the analysis undertaken by Messers. Fairhurst that access to anything other than a small number of residential units or for the provision of emergency access cannot be made to the site via the existing local road network, due in part to the unsuitability of these roads, which are particularly narrow closer to the town centre. Such access would lead to a substantial deterioration in the amenity of the residents in the existing residential areas. It is important therefore that the main access to the site should be from the A86. Full consideration of these matters will be given in the ‘masterplan’ which will be developed for the site in conjunction with the National Park Authority. In light of the above, the modification proposed to the wording on page 72, Kingussie Proposal KG/H1 paragraph iii in the Second Modifications to the Cairngorms National Park Deposit Local Plan, "Access to this site should be taken from the local road network" is not acceptable, not least because it is ambiguous but potentially because it is undeliverable. It is possible, when considering the nature of the A86 through the town of Kingussie to see it in reality as a ‘local road’ particularly when PAGE 83 examining its relationship to the A9 as a major trunk road. On this basis, the amended wording would seem innocuous. However, as the A86 retains trunk road status the only logical conclusion which can be drawn from the amended wording is that access cannot be taken from the A86. for the reasons already established, such a position is not sustainable as it is likely to render the development undeliverable. We therefore consider that the National Park Authority should revert to its previous clear and unambiguous position which will ensure that the development remains effective and important employment uses can be delivered to enhance the economic well-being of the town. Proposed modification : For the reasons set out above, Mr Aardenburg request the following modifications be made to the Cairngorms National Park Deposit Local Plan on page 72, Kingussie Proposal KG/H1 paragraph Objector Ref 461b Agent Name Gary Johnston Building Name Davall Developments Ltd Company Davall Developments Ltd Myrtlefield House Grampian Road Aviemore Policy/site ref mods Settlements - Kingussie H1 response to 2nd mods Sub para I - development rate for housing, housing requirement and land supply. Our clients wish to maintain their objection as they still have concerns especially in relation to the suppression of development until 2011 due to the timescale for investing in upgrading the Kingussie Waste Water Treatment works. Given that no completions will be possible on this land in the period 2006-2011 and the hope that the market will pick up before 2011, the inability to build any houses interim will cause pent up demand including unmet affordable housing needs. As such we seek no restriction on the house building rate. We also consider that restricting this to 15 dwellings per year may limit the ability to make parts of the land available to small builders and affordable housing providers who may wish to commence construction in the same timeframe. Sub para iii – access requirement Our clients are prepared to withdraw this issue on the basis that two access points will be permitted to serve the development and that Transport Scotland withdraw their objection. If the eastern most access involves closure of the existing Kerrow Farm access but this be linked into the new access to the trunk road we feel that surely Transport Scotland can see a way to withdraw their objection. Timescale for masterplan preparation Our clients are happy to withdraw this objection on the basis of the Park Authority’s positive reaction to the preparation of the masterplan and its submission in the form of an outline planning application early in 2009.
