Item 6 - Appendix 2 HRA March Burn Glen Clova
This document contains a habitats regulations appraisal for the proposed restoration of March Burn, a tributary of the South Esk, scheduled for summer 2025. The project aims to restore the river channel, remove embankments, and install wood structures to improve the habitat for Atlantic salmon and freshwater pearl mussel, both qualifying interests of the River South Esk Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The appraisal assesses the potential impacts of the restoration on these species, including short-term effects from construction and long-term benefits from habitat improvement, detailing mitigation measures to minimize negative impacts. Ultimately, if the mitigation measures are correctly applied, the restoration work should improve the habitat for both species.
