Assessments of the environmental effects

As detailed in the Description of Main Environmental Impacts and Proposed Mitigation section, there are no significant effects anticipated on any environmental receptors as a result of the proposed works.

Given the distance separating the resurfacing works from the Firth of Forth SPA and Ramsar Site, the Outer Firth of Forth and St Andrews Bay SPA, the Fala Flow SPA and Ramsar Site, and the Gladhouse Reservoir SPA and Ramsar Site, a HRA proforma was undertaken to assess for any potential effects that the works may have on the SPAs or Ramsar Sites. The HRA concluded that the proposed resurfacing works will not result in any likely significant effects on any of the qualifying features of the SPAs or Ramsar Sites.
