BSCG has joined with the Cairngorms Campaign and the Scottish Campaign for National Parks in a legal challenge to the Cairngorms National Park Local Plan, because of the allocations for excessive number of housing developments within it. We consider that these developments would cause unacceptable damage to the national park and are contrary to the first aim of the park, namely to conserve and enhance the natural and cultural heritage of the area.
Legal action is serious and expensive: we need to raise £50,000 to cover the cost of the court hearing, which is scheduled for January 2012. Please read our appeal leaflet. All donations are most gratefully received and can be made as detailed in the appeal leaflet, or by clicking the 'Donate' button to the right.
The two Scottish Government Reporters' Report of the Local Plan Inquiry, mentioned in the appeal leaflet, can be found here: 091216 Reporters' Report CNPA Paper. 1466.
