Settlement  / Site name / Ref in current LA plan / change in CNPA deposit plan / capacity in LA plan / reasons for removal 

Aviemore 
Milton Wood

Constrained due to flooding, archaeology and possible biodiveristy 
resouce. It was therefore considered that due to these constraints it 
would not be suitable to develop the site in a way to make a 
meaningful contribution to the overall housing land supply. The site 
lies within the settlement boundary and would therefore be 
considered as windfall in the event of the submission of a planning 
application. 


Boat of Garten 
Land S of Deshar Road 
6.1B 
removed 
15 
Constrained due to importance of woodland as a recreational 
resouce, visual backdrop to the setting of the settlement, and the 
importance of biodiversity on the site. The inclusion of the site for 
the current plan needs was considered to be excessive to meet the 
housing need of the village. Part of the site also fell with the Ancient 
Woodland Inventory. 


-
Land SW of Boat of Garten 
6.2 
reduced 
150 (reduced to 70) 
Reduced site to take into account appropriate assessment findings, 
impact of biodiversity on site and importance of woodland. The 
inclusion of the site for the current plan needs was considered to be 
excessive to meet the housing need of the village. Part of the site 
also fell with the Ancient Woodland Inventory.


- 
Land N of Birch Grove 
6.1A 
removed 
15 
Constrained due to importance of lochan and woodland in providing 
a striking entrance to the settlement from the north and a well 
defined sense of arrival to the village. The inclusion of the site for the 
current plan needs was considered to be excessive to meet the 
housing need of the village

Removed as result of community council objection. Remains within 
settlement boundary and could therefore be considered as windfall

Development of this site considered appropriate in landscape 
capacity terms, but only once the preferred options have been built. 
Removed therefore as not required to meet the current needs of 
Dalwhinnie.

Removed due to flooding constraints, and also physical separation of 
the site due to the road network.

Remains within settlement boundary and would therefore be 
considered as windfall should an application be submitted.

removed 
9 
Whilst identified in the Landscape Capacity study as having limited 
opportunity for low densite development, the inclusion of the site for 
the current plan needs was considered to be excessive to meet the 
housing need of the town. Alternative sites with better capacity to 
absorb development have therefore been included.

Landscape capacity study identifies this area as constrained by the 
increased elevation and steepness of the slopes, which currently 
create containment for the town and form a physical setting and 
visual backdrop to the town when viewed from the south. The 
woodland is also an important recreational resouce, with a quiet and 
secluded character. Development here would also require 
considerable earth moving which would have an impact on the 
landscape.

no figure 
Identified in Landscape Capacity study as having constrainted 
opportunity for development due to the increased elevation and 
steepness of these slopes which currently create containment for 
the town and form a physical setting and visual backdrop to the town 
when viewed from the south. The woodland is also an important 
recreational resource with a quiet and secluded character. 
Development on these slopes would also require considerable earth 
moving which would have an impact on the landscape.

Identified in Landscape Capacity study as having constrainted 
opportunity for development due to the importance of the woodland 
in providing a visual backdrop and setting to the settlement. It is also 
a rich recreational resource. The site is also affected by the adjacent 
Ancient Woodland.

Newtonmore 
Perth/Laggan Road 
1.1B 
reduced in area but overall capacity remains 100

Original allocation was considered excessive to meet the housing 
needs of Newtonmore for the short and medium term and the site 
was therefore reduced. 


-
Lower Croft Roy 
1.2B 
removed 
4 
Identified in the Landscape Capacity study as constrained by the 
seclusion of the area and its relative isolation from the rest of the 
settlement, from which is is both physically and visually detached. 
Development would also excessively elongate the settlement form.

Clune Terrace 
1.2E 
removed

Remains within settlement boundary and would therefore be 
considered as windfall should an application be submitted.
