Strategic Settlements 

An Camas Mor 

Proposals 

The Local Plan continues the proposal for a new 
community at Cambusmore (now named An Camas Mor), on the east 
side of the River Spey opposite Aviemore, that was identified in the 
Badenoch and Strathspey Local Plan 1997 and in 
the Highland Structure Plan 2001. 

The Local Plan identifies an indicative settlement 
boundary for the site, within which it is expected 
that development of a community of up to 1500 
homes could be developed over time. The Local 
Plan identifies a need for the development of 
An Camas Mor to start within the lifetime of 
the Local Plan and sets a target of 100 homes 
to be completed within the next five years. 
Development of the site will require new and 
improved road infrastructure and will require a 
direct pedestrian link to Aviemore. 

The development of An Camas Mor will comply 
with the policies of the Local Plan. In addition to 
housing, the settlement will provide commercial 
and community uses.The CNPA will work with 
partners to produce a detailed masterplan for 
the site. 

Development of the An Camas Mor site has 
potential to have significant effects on the River 
Spey SAC. Permission for development will only 
be permitted if the planning authority is satisfied 
that proposals have been designed to avoid and 
minimise effects on the environment, mitigate any 
significant effects, and that the development would 
not adversely affect the integrity of the River Spey 
SAC.
