What happens next
Please take the time to consider the information presented and provide any comments you may have as soon as possible and by 10 May 2024.
Following the public engagement event, the comments and feedback received will be considered as part of the further development of the Long-Term Solution (LTS). The DMRB Stage 3 Assessment will be concluded and an Environmental Impact Assessment undertaken.
This work will allow the identification of the land required for the scheme, preparation of draft Orders and the publication of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR).
The draft Road Orders provide the statutory authority to construct new roads and to improve and maintain Scotland’s roads. The draft Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) will define the extent of land required to construct, operate and maintain the scheme.
After publication, there will be a statutory objection period associated with the draft Orders and the EIAR. During this period, there will be another public exhibition event to display all the information.
Should there be objections to the draft Orders which we cannot resolve, there may be a need for a Public Local Inquiry (PLI). Progress after publishing the draft Orders will depend on the formal comments received on the proposals.
