The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) has called for ideas to be submitted on potential new development sites in the region.

Community councils and associations are being asked to give their views for possible sites as part of the next Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan (LDP) 2020-2025.

As there are significant constraints on development within much of the Cairngorms National Park, maps have been prepared to show areas that are subject to particular environmental protection and some broad search areas.

Murray Ferguson, Director of Planning and Rural Development at the CNPA, said: "The maps are there to inform the 'call for sites and ideas' process and by no means do they indicate any presumption in favour of development in any particular location.

"This is the very start of the process leading to the next LDP and it is extremely important for everyone to note that no decisions have been taken yet on how much development land will be needed and there is no presumption that any sites that are put forward as part of the 'call for sites and ideas' will be allocated for development."

Once all the ideas have been assessed, a full consultation will follow in spring 2017.
