Assessment of cumulative effects

The proposed works are not anticipated to result in significant environmental effects. Due to the nature of the proposed works, no cumulative effects are anticipated with any other developments in the vicinity.

A search of the Scottish Road Works Commissioner’s website (map search) has identified no additional road works planned within 300m of the A68 scheme extents that will coincide with the planned BEAR Scotland works.

In addition, a search using Scottish Borders Council ‘Simple Planning’ Search identified no planning applications within 300m of the scheme extents (in the last two years).
