Assessment of cumulative effects

A review of the Scottish Road Works Commissioner’s Interactive Map and Amey’s current programme of works confirms that no other roadworks are scheduled to take place at the proposed location or during the planned timeframe for the construction activities.

Dumfries and Galloway Council’s planning portal has not highlighted any further works located within proximity of the scheme extents that are going to affect further TM or have an impact on the wider community.

Any future schemes will be programmed to take into account already programmed works, and as such any effect (such as from TM arrangements and potential construction noise) will be limited.

Overall, it is unlikely the proposed works will have a significant cumulative effect with any other proposed works in the local area. Considering the nature and scale of the maintenance works being undertaken, no cumulative or in combination effects are anticipated.
