CNPA.Paper.1881.PLDP Consultation April-July 2013 PLANNING Cairngorms National Park Proposed Local Development Plan Supplementary Guidance Cairngorms National Park Proposed Local Development Plan Public Consultation Monday 15 April – Friday 5 July 2013 Proposed Local Development Plan The Cairngorms National Park Proposed Local Development Plan (LDP) has been prepared by the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) in accordance with the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 and the National Parks (Scotland) Act 2006. The proposed LDP sets the blueprint for development in the Cairngorms National Park for the next five years, and also gives an indication of where development might happen in the longer term. The proposed LDP is placed on deposit for consultation, along with supplementary guidance and additional documents, from Monday 15 April 2013 to Friday 5 July 2013. Supplementary Guidance The proposed LDP includes a suite of supplementary guidance which provides additional detail on a number of topics. Consultation on this guidance is being carried out in conjunction with the LDP. Core Paths Plan We have included the new Core Paths Plan in the supplementary guidance. Unresolved objections to this part of the supplementary guidance will be passed to the Scottish Government and may be the subject of public inquiry. Accompanying documents These documents include an Action Programme, which sets the framework for the delivery of the Plan, and a number of formal assessments and appraisals. Where you can view the documents All documents are available to view on the CNPA website, at the CNPA offices (Ballater and Grantown-on-Spey, see addresses below) – and at a number of council offices within the Park.

Dr Alexander Macbain's work on Names of Places deals with the Cehic names of pre-Gaehc " " he calls Pictish with Gaehc origin which ; names, ancl with names of Norse origin which have been transmitted through Gaelic. The area from which he took his materials was chiefly Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Lewis. His views on the language spoken by the Picts are " given in his paper on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland" (published separately), in his edition of Skene's "Highlanders of Scotland," and in several papers contained in this volume, particu- " larly that on the Place-Names of Inverness- shire." His position is that the Picts spoke that the Celtic Early British or a dialect of it, and language of early Britain was practically homo- geneous from the English Channel to the very North. He agrees with Kuno Meyer in holding " that no Gael ever set his foot on British soil save from a vessel that had put out from Ire- larid."

Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report updates the Committee on the response received from Transport Scotland to The Highland Council letter of objection regarding the Dalraddy to Slochd section of the A9 Dualling Programme. 1.2 The objection was predicated on the lack of a new Non-Motorised User (NMU) route between Aviemore and Carrbridge. 1.3 The EDI Committee discussed the objection at their meeting on 8th November 2018 and upheld the decision to object to this scheme. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to: i. note the contents of this report; and ii. consider the response that has been received from Transport Scotland and clarify if there remains a desire to sustain an objection to the draft orders. 3.

It is a major bus route, used by freight traffic and is used by tourists travelling to a range of locations. 3.2 The A9 Dualling Programme objectives are noted below: 1. To improve the performance of the A9 by: a. Reducing journey times, and b. Improving journey time reliability. 2. To improve safety by: a. Reducing accident severity, and b.
