This document contains a habitats regulations appraisal, dated 8 March 2024, for planning application 2023/0399/DET regarding a proposed change of use of land to a beer garden next to the River Spey at the Old Bridge Inn. The appraisal, completed on 13 February 2024 and checked on 20 February 2024, assesses the potential impact on the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC), particularly concerning species like otters, freshwater pearl mussels, sea lamprey, and Atlantic salmon. The appraisal concludes that the proposed change will not likely have a significant effect on the River Spey SAC, therefore no further assessment is required.
