Assessment cumulative effects

Amey’s Southwest Current Works Schedule has highlighted that there are no works scheduled along the A76 in proximity to the scheme extents within the proposed timescales.

East Ayrshire Council’s Planning Portal has not identified any extant planning applications surrounding the scheme extents that would result in any in-combination effects.

The Scottish Road Works Commissioner also does not identify any scheduled works that are set to take place within the scheme extents, within the same timescale, of the proposed works.

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.
