Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
This document is a non-technical summary (NTS) of the Environmental Statement
(ES) for the proposed A9(T)/A85 Interchange Redevelopment (hereafter referred to as
“the proposed scheme”).
The proposed scheme is a road improvement scheme that is being promoted by Perth
& Kinross Council in support of the development of the upcoming Local
Development Plan. Halcrow Group Ltd. were commissioned by Perth & Kinross
Council to develop the proposed scheme.
The A9(T) is the main trunk road between Stirling and Inverness which passes along
the western edge of the city of Perth. The A85 is both a local and trunk road which
runs between Perth and Crieff. The proposed scheme lies at the junction of the two
roads (centred on OS Grid Reference NO 085 248), and is shown on Figure NTS 1-1
(Appendix A).
1.2 Environmental Impact Assessment
Perth & Kinross Council’s Development Management Department confirmed the
need for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the proposed scheme in April
2010. An EIA is required under European and Scottish legislation to identify the
potential for environmental impacts to occur as a result of the proposals.
The Environmental Statement (ES) sets out the findings of the assessments
undertaken in 2011 as part of the EIA, and the NTS presents the key findings
presented within the ES.
Given that the proposed scheme impacts upon the trunk road network, the EIA was
undertaken using the guidance published within the Design Manual for Roads and
Bridges (DMRB), non-statutory guidance and professional judgements. Further to
the guidance utilised by the project team the assessments were further informed
through site visits and consultation with statutory consultees and key stakeholders.
2 Project Description
2.1 Need for the Scheme
The development of Perth is currently constrained by topography (Kinnoull Hill),
and the River Tay. To the west of Perth, lies the opportunity for development along
Crieff Road and Almond Valley; however this is unlikely to be acceptable without
major road improvements. The proposed scheme was identified as a
recommendation in the Adopted Perth Area local Plan (1996) and in the Perth &
Kinross Council Local Development Plan Main Issues Report (2010).
The identified key issues within the existing road network which the proposed
scheme seeks to alleviate are:
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
• Congestion issues on the A85 during both morning and evening peak times,
congestion also occurs when events take place at McDiarmid Park Football
Stadium;
• Lack of adequate access into the Inveralmond and Almond Valley Development
Areas from Crieff Road; and
• The layout of the A9(T)/A85 junction creates conflicts between local and strategic
road users.
2.2 The Proposed Scheme
The works comprise the creation of a new interchange between the A9(T) and the A85
incorporating the regrading of the adjacent land. The proposed scheme will include
new slip roads to the A9(T), new link roads to the A85, a diversion of the Perth Town
lade, the provision of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS), a new pedestrian
/ cycle bridge and the diversion of an Asserted Right of Way.
The proposed scheme is set out on Figure NTS\1-2 (Appendix A).
2.3 Construction of the Scheme
It is assumed that construction of the proposed scheme will commence in 2013 and
will last for a period of approximately 18 months.
2.4 Alternatives Considered
Five alternatives were assessed through the DMRB process, each of which was a new
junction which included a link road to the north of McDiarmid Park Stadium. Each
of the alternatives were considered to have some negative environmental impacts,
with the creation of new embankments and the diversion of the Perth Town Lade
watercourse being the key issues identified. The option taken forward for assessment
as part of the EIA was deemed to be the option which created the best balance
between the benefits and costs of the scheme in terms of the environment, economics,
accessibility and traffic flows in the area.
3 The EIA Process
3.1 Overview
The EIA is an essential part of the design process which enables an unbiased
assessment to be undertaken and allows the different elements of the scheme to be
assessed and consulted upon. The information gathered is then used to inform the
final detailed design of the proposals.
The objectives of the EIA process are as follows:
• To identify and assess the environmental impacts (both positive and negative)
of the construction and operation of the scheme, taking into account the
surrounding environment and the views of the consultees;
• To propose and commit to measures that reduce / avoid / offset negative
impacts and to enhance beneficial impacts of the proposed scheme; and
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
• To predict the significance of the residual impact upon the environment.
3.2 Scoping & Consultation
Following the EIA Screening Opinion that an EIA was required for the proposed
scheme, an EIA Scoping Report was submitted to Perth & Kinross Council in April
2011 and was subsequently passed to the Statutory Environmental Consultees for the
proposed scope of the EIA to be considered.
Following the consultation period, it was considered that the following
environmental topics would be assessed in the EIA and reported in the ES:
• Air Quality;
• Noise and Vibration;
• Cultural Heritage;
• Ecology and Nature Conservation;
• Landscape Effects;
• Land Use;
• Pedestrians, Cyclists and Community Effects;
• Vehicle Travellers;
• Road Drainage and the Water Environment;
• Geology and Soils;
• Socio-Economics;
• Disruption Due to Construction;
• Policy and Plans Assessment;
• Cumulative Effects; and
• Material Resources.
4 Environmental Impacts
4.1 Air Quality
The proposed scheme is located within the Perth Air Quality management Area
(AQMA).
The site clearance and construction phase will temporarily affect local air quality
through the generation and subsequent depositing of construction dust. Potential
dust impacts on local air quality have been considered at all sensitive receptors near
the proposed construction activities. Emissions to air will also arise from the use of
plant and haulage vehicles related to the site. However the increase in daily traffic
flow is not expected to be significant in relation to the existing local air quality.
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
The assessment took into account, the air quality effects due to traffic associated with
the scheme. Some properties located closest to the scheme may experience a slight
reduction in local air quality.
In order to mitigate against the potential for emissions to the atmosphere during the
construction phase, Best Practicable Means (BPM) will be adopted including
measures such as switching engines off when not in use, wheel washing of
construction vehicles and sheeting of stockpiles and lorries to prevent wind blown
dust. With these measures in place, complaints due to dust should be avoidable.
There are no mitigation measures proposed for the operation of the scheme as the
resulting air quality effects are not expected to be significant at sensitive receptors.
The scheme is expected to lead to an overall improvement in local and regional air
quality.
4.2 Noise and Vibration
Given the proximity of certain receptors to the development site, it is considered
likely that the closest residential receptors may be sensitive to short term construction
noise impacts. However, the extent to which construction noise is audible or
considered significant will be dependent on the position of the construction activity
on site.
The assessment shows that during construction, residential dwellings within 15m of
the works located at the new link road roundabout on Crieff Road are likely to
experience noise nuisance. This will occur when the works are at the closest point to
these receptors, but noise levels will decrease as the works begin to move further
away. For receptors that are located 50m or more from the works, all activities will
result in noise levels below the acceptable daytime levels,
In order to ensure that temporary construction noise levels at the closest sensitive
receptors can be minimised, mitigation measures have been proposed.
During the operation of the scheme, initially there is considered to be a positive effect
with greater numbers of receptors predicted to experience a noise decrease than
increase. However, over the next 20 years there is predicted to be increases in road
traffic noise due to predicted traffic growth on the roads.
It is always recommended that relevant guidance and standards are used to minimise
noise nuisance where possible. Careful selection of working methods and
programme, and the use of regularly maintained and appropriately silenced
equipment will be used.
During the operation of the scheme, although there are locations where an increase in
noise has been predicted, the overall absolute noise levels at these locations remain
low. As such, noise mitigation measures for operation are not recommended in the
ES, however further consideration will be given to acoustic fencing along the scheme
during the detailed design process.
Following detailed identification and implementation of appropriate mitigation
measures during the construction phase, and the implementation of a suitable
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
Construction Environmental Management Plan, the overall noise impact at local
sensitive properties will be reduced.
4.3 Cultural Heritage
Huntingtower Castle (Scheduled Monument, Category A Listed Building and
Property in Care) is the most significant cultural heritage resource within the study
area. Ruthven House (Category B Listed Building) is the second most significant
receptor
With respect to non-designated buried archaeological sites, both the ‘triple-ditched’
linear features and the former formal garden east of Ruthven House will lose small
areas of buried remains associated with them, and McDiarmid Park Stadium will see
the removal of its north stand. This will amount to an adverse impact which is
irreversible and the surviving remains will be diminished as a result.
The Perth Town Lade will see a substantial section of its alignment altered, through
replacement of its historic alignment to a new one around the base of a new
embankment. As this feature is an integral part of the historic landscape in the area,
its alteration is considered to be an adverse impact.
Sensitive landscape planting will be put in place to reduce the impacts to the cultural
heritage receptors of the area, in addition, measures to record the present alignment
of the Perth Town Lade will be undertaken prior to construction. Where a high
potential for buried archaeology has been identified investigations will be undertaken
prior to construction to determine the presence and value of the resource.
Following the implementation of the identified mitigation measures, some adverse
effects remain although these are only slight. The most significant impact will be
upon the non-statutory McDiarmid Park Stadium which will see one of its stands
removed to accommodate the proposed scheme.
4.4 Ecology and Nature Conservation
The Ecology and Nature Conservation assessment considered the potential for
environmental impacts on UK and EU protected species; species of local importance;
and sites designated for their nature conservation interest.
Ecological surveys were undertaken covering a range of habitats and species; these
included a Phase I Habitat Survey, Ancient Woodland survey, otter, red squirrel, bat,
fish and River Corridor surveys.
The results of the surveys showed potential impacts to the ecology of the area,
however, the impacts were assessed and appropriate mitigation measures were
recommended to reduce, offset or avoid any negative impacts identified.
Mitigation will include all works to be in accordance with relevant best practice to
prevent accidental damage to retained habitats, e.g. fencing off trees to be retained,
control of run-off and dust, and adherence to appropriate Construction industry
guidelines.
The key mitigation measure to be considered during the design stage is to limit the
amount of ancient woodland which will need to be felled. This also applies to the
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
non-designated mature trees along the Perth Town Lade. Furthermore, measures
such as the inclusion of enhancement measures (such as otter ledges in the culverts
and riparian planting along the diverted Perth Town Lade) have also been
recommended as a result of the surveys.
The residual impacts of the scheme include negative impacts as a result of the loss of
woodland, but beneficial impacts to the running water and river corridor habitats.
4.5 Landscape Effects
The study area lies on the western edge of Perth city on the edge of the River Almond
valley. The surrounding land uses are residential, industrial, commercial and
agricultural.
There are no statutory national landscape designations within 2km of the
development site. However a section of the proposed scheme runs through a locally
designated Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV), and parts of the scheme cut
through areas of Ancient Woodland.
Potential landscape impacts resulting from the scheme will likely include:
• Introduction of infrastructure elements associated with the proposed scheme,
including road surface, barriers fences, SUDS ponds, bridges, culverts, signage
and lighting; and
• Alterations to landform, land use, pattern, boundaries, vegetation and
watercourses.
These aspects will result in a change to the local landscape characteristics, which has
the potential to cause a significant impact to the landscape. Significant impacts will
occur through the creation of new embankments, the diversion of the Perth Town
Lade and the removal of woodland planting throughout the scheme.
Detailed mitigation measures have been identified to reduce, offset, or avoid impacts
to the landscape of the area including extensive woodland planting, the grading of
new embankments to connect them to the existing topography of the area, and
creating a new section of the Perth Town Lade with associated habitat creation. The
landscape mitigation plan is set out on Figure NTS 1-3, (Appendix A).
The alteration of the existing topography of the area and the removal of large
amounts of woodland will result in adverse impacts to the landscape of the area,
however the sensitive design and planting of the diverted Perth Town Lade will
result in a positive impact to the surrounding environment through increased
planting and habitat creation.
4.6 Visual Impact
A number of businesses, community facilities, residential properties and footpaths
will have a view of the proposed scheme. The visual impact assessment sets out the
anticipated changes to the views from these receptors that will occur as a result of the
development of the proposed scheme.
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
During the construction and operation of the proposed scheme, a notable change will
occur to the local views through the creation of new embankments and road
infrastructure has the potential to cause a significant impact to certain visual
receptors, in particular local residents and users of the A9(T)/A85 roads.
As well as the general change in land use and the creation of new structures affecting
views, impacts from street lighting may also occur across the scheme. However,
similar road infrastructure does exist in the existing situation around the A9(T)/A85
junction so the degree of change will inevitably be limited.
The most severe impacts are likely to be to those residential properties located
adjacent to the A85, and to McDiarmid Park Stadium which will see the demolition of
its North Stand.
Mitigation measures have been proposed to reduce the impact that the proposed
scheme will have upon the existing views, these measures are set out on Figure NTS
1-3 (Appendix A) and include extensive woodland planting across the scheme and
high quality designs of the bridges and gateway features on the A9(T) and A85.
The implementation of the mitigation strategy will reduce the adverse impacts during
the construction and operation of the scheme, however, given the extensive
earthworks proposed, and the inclusion of significant new structures there are likely
to be long-term negative impacts to some views within the study area.
4.7 Pedestrians, Cyclists and Community Effects
During the construction of the proposed scheme impacts to the pedestrians, cyclists,
equestrians and community facilities of the study area are likely to occur resulting
from:
• Temporary changes in journey lengths;
• Temporary closures or diversions resulting from the severance to paths
including Rights of Way and proposed Core Paths;
• Increased noise and vibration for facilities adjacent to the proposed works;
• Temporary reductions in the amenity of journeys resulting from the presence
of construction activities, and nuisance dusts; and
• Temporary traffic management during the works resulting in changes to
journey times or alternative routes being required.
Key impacts will be the closure of the existing pedestrian crossing of the A9(T) during
the construction period resulting in an increase in journey times for existing users as
well as the removal of the North Stand of McDiarmid Park Stadium which will
reduce stadium capacity.
The operational impacts that are likely to occur as a result of the proposed scheme
include:
• New traffic movements around the A9(T) / A85 junction and associated roads;
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
• A reduction in capacity of McDiarmid Park Stadium (Previous discussions
with St Johnstone Football Club confirmed that this is acceptable1) which will
be made more accessible by the new road layout;
• Increased safety resulting from the provision of a new pedestrian / cycle bridge
over the A9(T); and
• Permanent diversion of Right of Way 2/1 (TP285) (as seen on Figure NTS\1-4,
Appendix A the diversion has two possible routes which will be confirmed
during the detailed design period).
The design of the proposed scheme has taken into account the need to continually
maintain access for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians, and to also maintain
accessibility to community facilities along the roads and paths directly affected by the
scheme. In the long-term community severance and accessibility will also be
improved through the provision of the new pedestrian / cycle bridge and improved
signage throughout the scheme.
During the construction of the scheme it is not possible to mitigate the temporary
closure of the pedestrian crossing of the A9(T).
During the operation of the scheme some negative impacts may remain. The
inclusion of the new pedestrian / cycle bridge and improved traffic flows and signage
throughout the study area will lead to positive impacts for accessibility and
community severance in the long-term.
4.8 Land Use
The scheme will result in the following potential impacts to Land Use:
• A direct loess of agricultural farm land from Newton Farm, the Mains of
Huntingtower Farm and the farmland owned by the Bob Reid 1999
Discretionary Trust to the west of the A9(T);
• A direct impact to McDiarmid Park Stadium resulting from the demolition of
the north stand;
• Improved access to community facilities such as McDiarmid Park Stadium and
the Perth Crematorium;
1 Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee Report, North West Perth Expansion Area Study,
August 2009
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
• Improved access for land zoned for development at Newton Farm, as well as
providing the potential for future access provision to the development land to
the south of the Inveralmond Industrial Estate.
Mitigation measures recommended for reducing the impacts to surrounding land
uses include financial compensation for the loss of agricultural land and the removal
of the north stand of McDiarmid Park Stadium, and returning areas of land not
required for the long-term operation of the scheme to their former use.
There will also be long-term beneficial impacts to the surrounding land uses with
areas of development land identified in the development plan proposals, and sites
which have active planning permission status made more accessible through the new
road arrangements, and also through the provision of the new pedestrian / cycle
bridge.
4.9 Vehicle Travellers
The views from the road network affected by the scheme will be heavily influenced
by the creation of significant new earthworks, the removal of wooded areas, and the
formation of two new bridges over the A9(T). Driver stress levels may be affected
during the construction of the scheme as journey times increase through the
implementation of temporary traffic management measures. During the operation of
the scheme, the stress levels experienced on the existing road network will not change
significantly.
Views from the existing road network will be mitigated through the implementation of
effective landscape mitigation.
Signage throughout the scheme will help to mitigate driver stress through reducing
confusion levels for motorists on the network.
The implementation of an effective mitigation strategy will result in vehicle travellers
experiencing no significant effects following the implementation of the scheme.
4.10 Road Drainage and the Water Environment
There is potential for the scheme to impact on surface water, ground water and
drainage as a result of the construction and operation of the scheme. To
accommodate the scheme, the Perth Town Lade will be diverted and culverted in two
locations. (See figure NTS 1-2 (Appendix A)). The design of this diversion does not
result in any negative impacts to the water environment.
The ES has assessed the potential impacts and proposed mitigation measures to
minimise any impact that will be encountered.
The key sources of potential impact during construction are:
• Potential for silt being washed off earthworks (i.e. cuttings, embankments and
temporary stockpiles) and into watercourses by rainfall;
• Accidental spillage of fuels, lubricants, hydraulic oils etc. from plant and
storage areas; and
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
• Potential impact on groundwater resource from any dewatering operations.
The key sources of potential impact during operation are;
• The potential for material deposited on the road being washed off during
rainfall events during the operation of the highway;
• The consequences of accidental tanker or other spillage on the receiving
environment; and
• The potential from flooding of the Perth Town Lade.
A combination of good design and effective management should mitigate potential
impacts. Good working practices and design standards will be adopted that result in
minimal risk to the local water environment regime both during and following
construction.
An assessment to assess the operational effects of the road was undertaken using
specific guidance. The results showed that the scheme passes the runoff quality
assessment without any mitigation being proposed. However the scheme has
included Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems which will receive the discharge from
the drainage network associated with the road.
In order to mitigate the potential flooding of the Perth Town Lade, effective operation
of the sluice gate is essential. The proposed Almondbank flood protection scheme
will also reduce flood risk to the development (the Flood Risk Assessment is
presented in full in the appendices of the ES).
4.11 Geology and Soils
The proposed scheme is unlikely to impact upon areas of contamination or mineral
extraction sites, nor will the development of the scheme result in any significant risks
to human health or the water environment. No designated geological sites will be
impacted by the proposals.
Best practice measures such as the storage of fuels or oils on site were identified for
the continued protection of human health and the soils and geology during the
construction period.
Although there will be a physical change to the geology of the study area as a result
of the scheme, no significant residual impacts are anticipated to occur during either
the construction or the operation of the scheme.
4.12 Socio-Economic Assessment
The proposed upgrade represents major road improvement works which is likely to
result in a number of employment opportunities for manual workers. However it is
unlikely that the works will create further spin-off jobs.
Access to local businesses will be negatively impacted upon in the short term, while
works are being carried out. However completion of the project will bring about
improved traffic flows and access to the local business.
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
The scheme design involves land take, including 13.446ha of agricultural land within
the boundary for the scheme. The loss of this resource may result in loss of income
for the land owners.
A key impact of the scheme will be the implementation of a pedestrian / cycle bridge
at the site of the existing at-grade crossing of the A9(T). This crossing will
significantly improve both the safety of the crossing and the accessibility of the
Inveralmond Industrial Estate and the wider countryside from Perth resulting in a
significant long-term beneficial impact to the local population.
Mitigation measures for the socio-economics impacts of the proposed scheme
include:
• The demolition of the North Stand of McDiarmid Park Stadium should be
undertaken during the football off season.
• Compensation for the removal of the north stand of McDiarmid Park Stadium
will be agreed between Perth & Kinross Council and St Johnstone Football
Club.
• During the site works, there are likely to be delays and diversions to the road
network. This shall be mitigated by giving the general public including local
businesses advanced notice of all traffic management measures to be
implemented during the construction of the scheme.
The remaining impact following the implementation of the mitigation
measures identified above relates to the loss of prime quality agricultural land
which landowners will require to be compensated for.
4.13 Polices and Plans Assessment
This assessment has determined that the proposed scheme is in line with national,
regional and local planning policies. The scheme has been developed from the
recommendations of the Perth Area Local Plan (1996) and will support the
development sites identified in the plan. The junction improvements are also seen as
a priority in the Perth & Kinross Council Local Development Plan Main Issues Report
(2010).
The loss of agricultural land, and an area of land within the locally designated Area
of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) are seen as adverse effects, however, because of
the need for the proposed scheme in order to support the proposals within both the
existing adopted Local Plan (1996), and the Main Issues Report (2010) these impacts
can be reduced to resulting in no significant effects following the implementation of
the mitigation measures detailed throughout the ES.
4.14 Cumulative Impacts
The cumulative impact assessment took into account a variety of developments
within Perth and the surrounding areas. Key impacts included the potential adverse
impacts to biodiversity, landscape and pedestrians / cyclists. However, beneficial
impacts are likely to be experienced through improved air quality and accessibility.
As each new development is subjected to the planning system, cognisance should be
Environmental Statement - Non Technical Summary
given to existing schemes and the committed environmental mitigation to ensure
linkages and opportunities for environmental enhancements are maximised.
4.15 Material Resources
The ES sets out an assessment of the material resources required for the construction
of the A9(T)/A85 Interchange Redevelopment. Although this assessment is not a
requirement under the guidance, it has been undertaken due to the importance of
material resources on schemes such as this. The assessment focuses on the materials
used for the construction of the scheme, and the waste management steps to be
followed.
The implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the ES will enable the
detailed design team and the appointed contractor for the works to reduce the carbon
footprint and the quantity of waste of the scheme.
4.16 Summary
Further detail of the environmental impact assessments that have been carried out for
the proposed scheme and the proposed mitigation measures are set out in detail in
the ES. Please refer to the ES should you require detailed technical information for
the environmental disciplines summarised above.
