CONSULTATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS
- Consultations and Representations
Responses to Consultations:
Stirling Council Roads
- No objections.
West of Scotland Archaeology Service (WOSAS)
- The changes proposed to working hours should not result in any alteration to the physical impact of the construction and operation of the mine, and should not, therefore, have any additional effect on archaeology or cultural heritage beyond that identified in the Environmental Impact Assessment submitted in support of the previous application.
Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA)
- No objections.
Trunk Roads Authority
- The current restriction of surface working hours at the mine is 07:00 – 19:00. The proposed variation would take the generated trips even further outside the network peak periods and no new trips would be generated. We can confirm that Transport Scotland is satisfied that this proposed variation to working hours will have a negligible impact on the trunk road network in terms of traffic and associated environmental effects.
Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH)
- The will be no impacts on the natural heritage as a result of the proposed variation.
Stirling Council Environmental Health
- The extended working hours in combination with the recommendations in Section 7 of Appendix 2 of the Environmental Statement addendum should be acceptable from a Public Health perspective and complaints from residential properties are considered to be unlikely. Note the noise assessments performed, to date, are based on noise predictions, therefore, the results of the noise monitoring are essential to verify the accuracy of the predictions and, if necessary, guide operational management.
