The CNPA has considered applications 
notified to it by the local authorities and 
on 11 Feb has decided as follows: 

1. 09/015/CP - The decision was to call-in the application for the 
following reason : 

• While the existence of an Outline Planning 
Permission for this site is recognised, the CNPA 
considers that this is an important and sensitive 
site in the landscape, where issues of impact on 
natural and cultural heritage in relation to 
proposed development have arisen before. The 
proposed house also relates to land 
management needs and therefore raises issues in 
relation to social and economic development of 
the area. As such, the CNPA considers that issues 
of general significance for the Park’s aims 
continue to be raised in this instance. 

2. 09/016/CP - No Call-in 

3. 09/017/CP - The decision was to call-in the application for the 
following reason : 

• The proposal is for a house on a site located 
within the Restricted Countryside Area of the 
Badenoch and Strathspey Local Plan. This policy 
presumes against new houses unless there is a 
land management justification. While it is 
recognised that there may be such a land 
management justification in this instance, the 
proposal raises issues in relation to housing in the 
countryside, precedent, the conservation and 
enhancement of the natural and cultural 
heritage of the area and social and economic 
development. As such it is considered to raise 
issues of general significance to the collective 
aims of the National Park. 

4. 09/018/CP - No Call-in 
5. 09/019/CP - No Call-in 
6. 09/020/CP - No Call-in 
7. 09/021/CP - No Call-in 
8. 09/022/CP - No Call-in 
9. 09/023/CP - No Call-in 

10.09/024/CP - The decision was to call-in the application for the 
following reason : 

• The proposal is for the construction of 8 no. 
dwellinghouses on a sensitive site in Nethy Bridge, 
which is close to natural heritage designations 
and where there are existing natural heritage 
features and important local footpath networks. 
While it is recognised that the site is allocated in 
the Badenoch and Strathspey Local Plan for 
residential development, the proposed CNPA 
Local Plan, following representations, proposes 
that the site be removed from the effective 
housing land supply and that it be given 
environmental protection. The proposal is 
therefore considered to raise issues in relation to 
the conservation and enhancement of the 
natural and cultural heritage of the area, the 
promotion of enjoyment of the area in the form 
of recreation, and the social and economic 
development of Nethy Bridge. As such, it is 
considered to raises issues of significance to the 
collective aims of the National Park.

12.09/026/CP - No Call-in 
13.09/027/CP - No Call-in
