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.

This document contains a Habitats Regulations Appraisal for planning application 2021/0262/DET, which concerns the formation, maintenance, and upgrading of a vehicular access track in Glen Clova. The appraisal, completed on 31 August 2021, assesses the potential impact of the project on two European sites: the Cairngorms Massif Special Protection Area (SPA) and the River South Esk Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The assessment concludes that the project is likely to have a significant effect on golden eagles (Cairngorms Massif SPA) and freshwater pearl mussels and Atlantic salmon (River South Esk SAC) due to potential habitat disturbance and sediment release. The appraisal suggests that the project as originally submitted would prevent meeting the conservation objectives of the River South Esk SAC, but if a condition to prevent sediment release is applied, it should meet conversation objectives.
