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 LLTNP Planning Portal identified no approved planning applications within 300m of the schemes.

A search of the Scottish Roads Works Commissioner website (Map Search) has identified one works package located within the A85 South of Glen Ogle Viaduct scheme extent which has the potential to overlap with the proposed resurfacing works. These works relate to retaining wall replacement and new drainage installation and commenced on the 17/08/2026, for a duration of 121 days.

However, BEAR Scotland programme all their proposed works in line with appropriate guidance and contractual requirements. All schemes are programmed to take into account existing and future planned works, with a view of limiting any cumulative effects relating to TM. As a result of this exercise, where a potential for cumulative impacts is identified, BEAR will reprogramme schemes to avoid / limit any cumulative effects or will utilise existing TM to complete multiple schemes at once. This approach allows BEAR Scotland to effectively manage the potential cumulative effects as a result of TM, resulting in minimal disruption to users of the Scottish trunk road network.

Overall, it is unlikely that the proposed works will have significant cumulative effects with any other future works in the area.
