Item6Appendix2HRA20200221DET
This document contains a Habitat Regulations Appraisal for a planning application (2020/0221/DET) for the erection of a bothy, installation of a waste water treatment system and soakaway, and creation of a pedestrian/service access track next to the River Tromie, near Kingussie. The appraisal, dated 6 October 2021 and prepared by Nina Caudrey, a Planning Officer, considers the potential impact on the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the River Spey – Insh Marshes Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site. The appraisal concludes that the project could have a significant effect on the River Spey SAC due to potential sediment pollution during construction and disturbance to otters, but these effects can be mitigated by implementing a Construction Method Statement and conducting a pre-construction otter survey. The SPA and Ramsar sites are not expected to be significantly affected due to the distance from the development site. Subject to these conditions, the report says that there should not be an adverse effect on site integrity.
