Assessments of the environmental effects

The M90 Junction 1B to 1C Northbound resurfacing scheme lies within the buffer zone of several of the qualifying features of the Firth of Forth SPA and Ramsar Site and Forth Islands SPA, the Outer Firth of Forth and St Andrews Bay Complex SPA and Loch Leven SPA and Ramsar Site and as such, a HRA has been undertaken. The HRA ruled out the potential for LSE on the designated site.

As detailed in the Description of Main Environmental Impacts and Proposed Mitigation section, there are no significant effects anticipated on any environmental receptors as a result of the proposed works.
