Content: The Committee provided the following comments:   a)    The report was very much welcomed, b)    It would be helpful to have a greater understanding around the potential use of digital technology, c)    It would be more beneficial for Amenity Orders to be processed through the Historic Environment Team rather than the Planning Enforcement Team, d)    It might be useful to reconsider how the Service can link into schools, in order to promote the history of the local area, and e)    It was disappointing that there was not yet an agreement between the surrounding Local Authorities and the Cairngorm National Park Authority, but it was understood that work had been ongoing in relation to this.
