A holiday resort has unveiled plans for a major housing and shopping development for Aviemore.

Aviemore Highland Resort - which comprises Macdonald Hotels, Tulloch Homes and Bank of Scotland - lodged the proposal with Highland Council.

The plans include new homes - up to 50% of which will be classed as affordable - a superstore, five offices and three retail outlets near Grampian Road.

It has been forecast that the development will create 300 jobs.

Training centre

The application also includes an expansion of the resort's shopping complex.

In April, a new education and training centre was opened at the resort.

The Centre of Applied Tourism and Hospitality Management also involves Highlands and Islands Enterprise, UHI Millennium Institute, Swiss Education Group and Motherwell College.
