  However, it added that the developer's three planning applications for the project were "not deemed to meet with a range of other planning policies".
  Aviemore and Highland Developments Ltd, part of the Tulloch Homes Group, had sought approval for the scheme.
  The housing project has been going through the planning process for more than 10 years.

  Rare red squirrels, capercaillie and wood ants had been recorded in the area.

  Carrbridge, known for its 18th century packhorse bridge, has a population of about 700 people.
