[  Rural Settlements ] 

[  Bellabeg 

The Donside area is characterised by small 
settlements interspersed with farms and 
cottages. The local economy is largely land 
based, supplemented by tourism and 
recreation. The settlement of Bellabeg 
presents a number of development 
opportunities to consolidate new proposals in 
support of the community.  ] 

[  Dinnet 

Dinnet commands an important location at 
one of the key entrances to the National 
Park. The local economy is largely land based, 
but there are opportunities to enhance 
tourism and recreation facilities, and 
consolidate the settlement, providing 
additional housing to secure a sustainable 
community.  ] 

[  Insh 

The settlement of Insh is surrounded by 
important nature conservation sites, and is on 
the route to the popular RSPB and national 
nature reserve at Insh Marches. There has 
been considerable growth in recent years, and 
any new development should consolidate the 
existing settlement area. Any growth must 
also take into account the capacity of 
infrastructure serving the settlement and 
wider area.  ] 

[  Inverdruie 

The western end of the Glenmore corridor 
faces considerable pressure for new 
development, and there are a number of 
opportunities within Inverdruie to consolidate 
the existing settlement to support the 
sustainability of the community. 
Development in this settlement is particularly 
sensitive because of its landscape setting and 
gateway role.  ]
