Assessments of the environmental effects

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

An HRA was completed and concluded that no likely significant effects (LSE) would occur on the qualifying features of the Ness Woods SAC due to the lack of in-water works, distance between sites and short duration of works. As such, no further assessment or consultation with NatureScot was required.
