From 'Planning' here
"The Cairngorms Campaign, the Scottish Campaign for National Parks and the Badenoch and Strathspey Conservation Group are seeking to overturn policies in the Cairngorms National Park Local Plan supporting a new settlement of up to 1,500 homes at An Camas Mor, near Aviemore, and smaller allocations at Nethy Bridge, Carrbridge and Kingussie.
The groups argue that these developments "would cause unacceptable damage to the national park and are contrary to the first aim of the park, namely to conserve and enhance the natural and cultural heritage of the area".
Planning permission in principle for the An Camas Mor scheme was issued in June 2010 and the local plan was adopted in October 2010. The scheme is being promoted by landowner the Rothiemurchus Estate.
The national park authority argues that the principle of development at the site was established in the 1990 Highland Structure Plan and that the scheme will meet long-term growth needs in the Badenoch and Strathspey area.
