This document contains a Habitats Regulations Appraisal for agenda item 6, appendix 2, dated 24 September 2021, concerning planning application 2021/0207/DET. The appraisal, dated 5 August 2021 and checked by Rebecca Watts, is for the creation of a formal parking area for 61 vehicles 150 metres west of Loch Moraig, Blair Atholl, Perthshire. The appraisal considers the potential effects on the Tulach Hill and Glen Fender Meadows Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Cairngorms Massif Special Protection Area (SPA). It concludes that the project is not directly connected to the management of the European sites and is not likely to have a significant effect on the sites because none of the qualifying interest are present in the area, and that the amount of visitors is not expected to change.
