Item9Appendix2HRA20240082DETAccessTrackAndBorrowPitNewtonmore
This document contains a habitats regulations appraisal for planning application 2024/0082/DET, concerning the widening of an access track and the formation of hardstanding and a borrow pit near Newtonmore. The appraisal, completed on 8 July 2024 and checked by NatureScot, assesses the potential impact of the project on the River Spey Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and its qualifying interests, including Atlantic salmon, freshwater pearl mussel, sea lamprey, and otter. The appraisal concludes that the project is likely to have a significant effect on Atlantic salmon, sea lamprey, and freshwater pearl mussel due to potential pollution from construction activities affecting water quality, but it is unlikely to have led to a disturbance of any otter. It also details mitigation measures to prevent pollution and ensure the project does not undermine the conservation objectives for the River Spey SAC.
