Assessment 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 Perth & Kinross Planning Portal identified one planning application located approximately 20m north of the scheme, which details a proposal to erect a poly tunnel, shed composting toilet and water tank. No cumulative or in-combination effects have been identified due to the nature and scale of these works. No other planning applications within 300m of the scheme within the last 6 months were identified.

A search of the Scottish Road Works Commissioner website (Scottish Road Works Online) identified roadworks planned approximately 30m south of the scheme on General Wade’s Military Road. However, this scheme is not scheduled to overlap with the proposed works VRS. Due to the nature of the proposed works, no cumulative effects are anticipated with any other developments in the vicinity.

BEAR Scotland programme all of its 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 or utilising 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 a significant cumulative effect with any other future works in the area.
