Residents are being invited to submit their views on how the Aviemore Highland Resort (AHR) site should be developed.

The site covers 40-hectares in the middle of the town and currently has a mix of uses such as visitor accommodation, retail, recreation and housing.

The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) has prepared a draft Development Brief to guide future development at AHR, providing a land use and development framework to help inform the preparation of more detailed proposals.

A consultation on the Brief has now been launched and residents have until the end of September to respond.

Two drop-in events are taking place where people can find out more information or make comments on the AHR Development Brief.

The events will take place on the Aviemore Village Green from 2.30pm – 7.30pm on Thursday, 17 August and Tuesday, 22 August.

Gavin Miles, Head of Planning and Communities at the CNPA, said: "There are a number of sites in the Cairngorms National Park LDP where the principle of development has been established but projects have not yet come to fruition. In Aviemore, the Highland Resort site is such a location yet it remains an area with significant development potential.

"We are keen to hear what people think should happen on this site – and how it should happen – and would encourage anyone with an interest in the future of Aviemore to make their views known on the draft Development Brief."
