This is set supply of housing land of 906 units to meet out in Table 3. the need of 950 units, to meet the need to 2016 (see para 4.30, p51). Table 4 Sets out those sites which are being taken Table 2 forward in this Local Plan to meet the need Sets out the most up-to-date information to 2016 (774).

The allocations will be monitored annually to ensure the Local Plan is supplying the required five-year supply at the time of the annual audit.

These are the principles that the Cairngorms Appendix 4 National Park Authority expects to see reflected in any masterplan and planning application for the new sustainable community of An Camas Mòr. There is an expectation that the submitted proposals will describe how the principles can be delivered. There would then be a requirement that they would be fully worked up within subsequent detailed applications. It is appreciated that certain aspects of the principles will depend on the way the Development development is promoted and used once it is in place, but the layout, design and embodied culture can influence this to a Principles for significant extent. The way in which the principles are addressed in the documents An Camas Mòr supporting any planning application will be central to consideration of the application by the Cairngorms National Park Authority acting as planning authority.

Fit for a National Park An Camas Mòr will have the distinction of being the only new community planned for a National Park. It will make a significant contribution to the delivery of the National Park aims and set an outstanding example of what is possible in a National Park context. It will help to deliver the Cairngorms National Park Plan and emerging Local Plan. It will reflect the special qualities of the National Park and incorporate a wide range of sustainability measures in its design, layout and function. An Camas Mòr will be internationally acclaimed as an exemplar of sustainable development and building design in a very sensitive location. It will be an inspiration and a delight.

A Real Cairngorms Community An Camas Mòr will be an inclusive and vibrant community with a demographically balanced resident population. It will embrace diversity and provide for all abilities. It will be recognisably ‘Cairngorms’. It will be a real community, not a holiday village or second
