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.

A HRA was conducted due to proximity and ecological connectivity with the Glen Coe SAC and Glen Etive and Glen Fyne SPA. The assessment concluded that there was no potential LSE resulting from the works on all habitats within the SAC with the exception of dry heaths and plants in crevices on acid rocks. LSE also could not be ruled out for the qualifying feature within the SPA.  With appropriate measures in place, however, the proposed works will not result in AESI in either instance.
