Why at An Camas Mòr?
• During the Local Plan consultation process, chaired by Aviemore and Vicinity Community Council in 1989, the local community expressed a preference for a new site, across the River Spey. This view has been consistently sustained ever since. • The Highland Council examined five locations and selected An Camas Mòr as the preferred site. • Aviemore is constrained by the A9, the railway and the river and has become very elongated. • An Camas Mòr is close enough to share community facilities with Aviemore. It would have a regular public transport service to Aviemore for the first phase. The centre would be a 30-minute walk from the mainline railway station. • An Camas Mòr would be designed as a sister community to Aviemore, sharing some of the main infrastructure facilities – Aviemore has the school and health and transport centre, while An Camas Mòr can provide space for sports and other community facilities. • Being planned from the start, it would accommodate the needs of the area minim
