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 Scottish Road Works Commissioner’s website (map search) has identified no works on the M90 surrounding the scheme extents.

In addition, a search using Fife Council 'Simple Search' identified 11 planning applications within 300m of the scheme extents within the last two years.

While it is not possible to know the exact timings for the above planning applications, the resurfacing works will be restricted to the M90 carriageway and undertaken on a rolling programme therefore, it is unlikely that the proposed works will have a significant cumulative effect with any other future works in the area.
