Assessment of cumulative effects

During construction, the works may result in minor, temporary disturbances such as short-term, changes to noise, vibration and air quality. However, given the limited scale, duration and localised nature of the scheme, no significant environmental impacts are anticipated.

A review of Angus Council’s Planning Portal has not identified any extant planning permissions that will result in cumulative effects. Similarly, the Scottish Road Works Commissioner’s Interactive Map has not identified any works on the A90 or surrounding road network that would result in cumulative effects.

At present, Amey’s programme of works for the North East has not identified any other schemes that will be undertaken concurrently or in conflict with the proposed works at Finavon. All works are programmed in line with appropriate guidance and contractual requirements. with consideration given to existing and future planned activities.

The scheme is not anticipated to have significant environmental effects having regard to its nature, scale and location. The residual impacts arising from the works can be mitigated and thus no cumulative or in-combination effects are anticipated.
