| River Spey SAC | |
| The develΒopΒment boundΒary is bordered by two burns, both of which enter the Allt Mhor and from there the River Spey approxΒimΒately 2km away. Otter are known to use at least one of these burns for forΒaging (Caochan FhurΒiΒan). Any run-off from the site has potenΒtial to effect the River Spey SAC downΒstream. The proΒposΒal has the potenΒtial to effect the SAC in the folΒlowΒing ways: disΒturbΒance to qualΒiΒfyΒing interests, polΒluΒtion and siltaΒtion durΒing conΒstrucΒtion, run-off durΒing conΒstrucΒtion and water abstracΒtion. The Nethy Bridge WWTW will take all wastewaΒter from the develΒopΒment and this will have to comΒply with SEPA CAR regΒuΒlaΒtions. ThereΒfore there is No Effect on the River Spey from wastewaΒter pollution. | |

| STAGE 4: | |
| UnderΒtake an ApproΒpriΒate AssessΒment of the implicΒaΒtions for the site(s) in view of the(ir) conΒserΒvaΒtion objectives | |
| Effects taken forΒward to ApproΒpriΒate Assessment | |
| The folΒlowΒing Likely SigΒniΒficΒant Effects are taken forΒward to ApproΒpriΒate AppraisΒal below: | |
| River Spey SAC: run-off durΒing conΒstrucΒtion, run-off durΒing operΒaΒtion (all feaΒtures), disΒturbΒance to otter (otter only) AberΒnethy Forest SPA: disΒturbΒance to caperΒcailΒlie Craigmore Wood SPA: disΒturbΒance to caperΒcailΒlie Anagach Woods SPA: disΒturbΒance to caperΒcailΒlie KinΒveachy Forest SPA: disΒturbΒance caperΒcailΒlie Cairngorms SPA: disΒturbΒance capercaillie | |
| Because the site is not withΒin the SAC or withΒin any of the SPAs, only the folΒlowΒing conΒserΒvaΒtion objectΒives will be assessed: | |
| β’ DisΒtriΒbuΒtion of the speΒcies withΒin site; β’ No sigΒniΒficΒant disΒturbΒance of the speΒcies (on the site); PopΒuΒlaΒtion of the speΒcies as viable comΒponΒent of the site; | |
| River Spey SAC | |
| Otter | |
| Otters may be disΒturbed by conΒstrucΒtion activΒity, noise, lightΒing and othΒer feaΒtures of the developmentβs design or by post-conΒstrucΒtion activΒity. The eastΒern edge of the develΒopΒment is approxΒimΒately 40m from the burn. 50m is norΒmally conΒsidered as a minΒimΒum standΒard bufΒfer to preΒvent disΒturbΒance no non-breedΒing otter habΒitΒat. This is usuΒally for temΒporΒary disΒturbΒance durΒing conΒstrucΒtion. The otter surΒvey as part of the ecoΒloΒgicΒal appraisΒal was carΒried out in winter time when otter may not be using the burn regΒuΒlarly. This surΒvey covered an area of only 100m (see page 22 of the EcoΒloΒgicΒal AppraisΒalΒΉ) and 200m is the standΒard search area set in SNH guidΒanceΒ². As such importΒant feaΒtures for otter may have been missed. Otter have been known to use the Allt Mhor for breedΒing (as indicΒated by a dog attack on an otter cub on this burn in 2011). There is also potenΒtially suitΒable breedΒing habΒitΒat furΒther upstream of the site, for example, CulΒstank Moss. ΒΉ Astell AssoΒciΒates (2020) Nethy Bridge Craigmore Road Site β PreΒlimΒinΒary EcoΒloΒgicΒal AppraisΒal & ExtenΒded Phase 1 HabΒitΒat SurΒvey Β² https://www.nature.scot/sites/default/files/2019βββ10/βSpecies PlanΒning Adviceβββotter.pdf |
| | Otter activΒity has been recorΒded by locΒal natΒurΒalΒists in March, April and May 2020 (camΒera trap
sightΒings, spraints and feedΒing remains) on the Caochan FhuarΒain and at a pond in CulΒstank Moss.
Otters also apparΒently spraint either side of the road where the Caochan FhuarΒain passes
underΒneath but the culΒvert is too small for them to pass under the road safety. An increase in
traffic on Craigmore road due to the proΒposΒal could put otter at increased risk of traffic colΒliΒsion.
There are two ways the proΒposΒal could impact on otter disΒturbΒance from people livΒing on the
site preΒvents access to forΒaging habΒitΒat or preΒvents access to breedΒing habΒitΒat. The latΒter would
have a Likely SigΒniΒficΒant Effect.
A furΒther otter surΒvey was subΒmitΒted, carΒried out in May 2020 and included a full 200m surΒvey area
from the site. No restΒing sites or breedΒing holts were found. This indicΒates that otter are not using
this immeΒdiΒate area surΒroundΒing the proΒposΒal for breedΒing. LocΒal natΒurΒalΒists reporΒted spraints at
CulΒstank Moss pond at the time of the May otter surΒvey. The level of activΒity recorΒded by locΒal
natΒurΒalΒists so far this year sugΒgests that otter do use this area, but perΒhaps only one (two at most)
indiΒviduΒals to access forΒaging habΒitΒat in the Caochan FhuarΒain burn and ponds in CulΒstank Moss
furΒther upstream.
β’ No sigΒniΒficΒant disΒturbΒance of the speΒcies;
The site is remote from the SAC and there will be no dirΒect disΒturbΒance to otter on the River
Spey, either durΒing conΒstrucΒtion or once the develΒopΒment is comΒplete and inhabΒited.
As such this conΒserΒvaΒtion objectΒive is met.
β’ DisΒtriΒbuΒtion of the speΒcies withΒin site;
The Caochan FhuarΒain and drain adjaΒcent to the site are not withΒin the SAC, but ultiΒmately flow
into the Allt Mhor and then into the River Spey.
PolΒluΒtion (siltaΒtion, fuel leaks, un-treated surΒface water) from the site through run-off durΒing
conΒstrucΒtion and run-off durΒing operΒaΒtion into the two burns adjaΒcent to the site has potenΒtial to
smothΒer and poisΒon inverΒtebΒrates and amphiΒbiΒans, thus effectΒing its abilΒity to act as a food supΒply
for otters, parΒticΒuΒlarly durΒing spring. This could cause otter to avoid using this area. Because the
burns adjaΒcent to the site are not withΒin the SAC, this disΒplaceΒment of indiΒviduΒals would be an
indirΒect effect β it would cause otter to be disΒplaced to find alternΒatΒive feedΒing locΒaΒtions,
potenΒtially effectΒing terΒritΒorΒies and resiΒliΒence of breedΒing pairs withΒin the SAC.
As such this conΒserΒvaΒtion objectΒive canΒnot be met and furΒther measΒures are required to avoid an adverse
effect on site integΒrity.
β’ PopΒuΒlaΒtion of the speΒcies as viable comΒponΒent of the site;
Because the Caochan FhuarΒain is probΒably only infreΒquently used for feedΒing and not breedΒing,
temΒporΒary disΒturbΒance of otter at this locΒaΒtion durΒing conΒstrucΒtion is not likely to be sigΒniΒficΒant in
terms of a knock-on effect on the popΒuΒlaΒtion of the SAC.
HowΒever polΒluΒtion (siltaΒtion, fuel leaks, un-treated surΒface water) from the site through run-off
durΒing conΒstrucΒtion and run-off durΒing operΒaΒtion into the two burns adjaΒcent to the site has |
| | potenΒtial to smothΒer and poisΒon inverΒtebΒrates and amphiΒbiΒans, thus effectΒing its abilΒity to act as a
food supΒply for otters, parΒticΒuΒlarly durΒing spring. This could cause otter to avoid using this area.
Because the burns adjaΒcent to the site are not withΒin the SAC, this disΒplaceΒment of indiΒviduΒals
would be an indirΒect effect β it would cause otter to be disΒplaced to find alternΒatΒive feedΒing
locΒaΒtions, potenΒtially effectΒing terΒritΒorΒies and resiΒliΒence of breedΒing pairs. HowΒever this is only a

SalΒmon are not likely to be using the Caochan FhuarΒain but are likely to be present in the Allt

It is not likely that there will be dirΒect disΒturbΒance of musΒsels on the River Spey due to the disΒtance

of the site). The nearest musΒsels are on the main stem of the River Spey, downΒstream of Nethy
