CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY 

Title: Consultative Draft Cairngorms National Park Local 
Plan – CONSULTATION REPORT 

Prepared by: Gavin Miles, Planning Officer (Local Plan/Policy) 


Purpose 

To inform the CNPA Planning Committee of the results for the second phase of the 
CNP Local Plan consultation, for the consultative draft Local Plan of October 2005 
and its accompanying SEA Environmental Report. 


Recommendations 

That Members of the Planning Committee support a recommendation to: 

1. Publish the Consultation Report 


Background 

1. The consultative draft Cairngorms National Park Local Plan was published in 
October 2005, with a formal consultation period to the 28th February 2006. 

2. The Environmental Report of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) 
of the Local Plan was published on the 20th December 2005, with an effective 
consultation period from early January to the 28th February 2006. 

3. Responses to the Local Plan and Environmental Report and opinions on their 
content are always welcomed, and the consultation report summarises a total 
of 206 written representations received up to May 2006. 

3. The consultation report also includes the results of community consultation 
events held between September and November 2005, which were attended 
by a total of 924 people. At these meetings, communities were invited to 
comment on the settlement statements that were included in the consultative 
draft Local Plan. 


Next Steps 

1. We intend to format and publish Consultation Report. 

2. We intend to provide more detailed feedback reports to local communities. 

3. The Local Plan team will continue to review the Local Plan and SEA in 
response to consultation comments and additional information available since 
publication of consultative draft, including consultation on the draft Park Plan.
