Government planning officials, as part of their territorial liaison responsibilities, were aware in December 2007 that the Laurel Grant Ltd application, among others, was to be considered by the Cairngorm National Park Authority on 11 January 2008. Laurel Grant Ltd subsequently wrote to Scottish ministers on 5 February 2008 in connection with their proposed development. Consideration of, and decision on, the planning application were for the Park Authority.
