  • Information Bulletin
    NORTH EAST SCOTLAND TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIP – 16 December 2013 8 Information Bulletin Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to provide information and updates for the Board on a number of matters not requiring decision. Prestwick Airport Members may be aware from press reports that the Scottish Government has agreed to the temporary running of Prestwick Airport as a nationalised operation. Rab Dickson attended the Cross-Party Group on Aviation meeting in the Scottish Parliament on 27 November where it was emphasised that the Government are not in the business of running airports, that the acquisition is seen as a temporary measure until an operator can be found and that there is no intention to compete for business with commercial airports. Representatives from Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports did express concern at the possibility of anti-competitiveness issues, but seemed satisfied with the assurances given. Implications for Aberdeen International Airport are probably minimal. Access to Laurencekirk Study Derick Murray, along with Ewan Wallace and William Munro of Aberdeenshire Council, met with various representatives of the Laurencekirk community on 14 November at Mearns Community Centre to explain the study that Nestrans is commissioning in partnership with Aberdeenshire Council and Transport Scotland to develop a robust evidence case and progress a preferred option to improve access between the A90 and Laurencekirk. It is felt that the meeting was appreciated and that the requirement for the study and the fact that local input will be a key element of the STAG process was in the main understood and welcomed. It was asked however if there are any interim measures that can be introduced to improve safety on the A90 Trunk Road at this location in advance of a long term solution being brought forward and delivered and a letter has been sent to Transport Scotland to seek their response to this request.

  • 9 Noise and Vibration
    Project Name: A90/A937 Laurencekirk Junction Improvement Scheme Document Title: Stage 3 Environmental Impact Assessment Report 9 Noise and Vibration 9.1 Introduction This chapter assesses the potential noise and vibration impacts from the junction improvements on the A90 at Laurencekirk. The assessment will consider the potential operational and construction impacts on existing noise sensitive receptors. The proposed scheme alignment being assessed is described in Chapter 2 and shown in Figure 1.2 and Figure 1.3 in Volume 3 of this environmental report. A Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 2 Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) was undertaken in April 2018 (Ref. 9.1) to determine the optimal option, considering environmental issues, traffic, socio-economic matters and the engineering aspect of the position and buildability of the proposals. The objective of the DMRB Stage 3 EIAR is to understand the noise and vibration effects of the proposed scheme, for both day and night time periods. The assessment was undertaken in accordance with guidance for Detailed Assessment provided in the DMRB, Volume 11, Section 3, Part 7 “Noise and Vibration”, HD 213/11 (Ref. 9.2). This will be referred to throughout the report as HD 213/11. The assessment considers the impacts without changing the alignment (referred to as the Do- Minimum) and future years when the new alignment is fully opened to traffic (Do-Something). These scenarios were generated based on traffic data taken from the traffic model which was prepared by Amey’s Transport Planning team. 9.2 Policy and Legislative Background Legislative Background The Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006 The Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (Ref.

  • 11 Landscape This Chapter Details the Landscape Assessment of the Northern Leg of the Proposed Scheme
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement 2007 Part B: Northern Leg 11 Landscape This chapter details the landscape assessment of the Northern Leg of the proposed scheme. The existing landscape is described and classified into areas of distinctive character which assist in the evaluation of the sensitivity of the landscape and the development of mitigation proposals. Impacts are assessed for both the winter year of opening (when all mitigation elements will be in place but the mitigation planting is not fully effective) and during the summer 15 years after opening (when mitigation planting has become established and contributes to screening). Appropriate grading of earthworks has been incorporated into the scheme design, and planting (including grassed areas, scrub and woodland) is proposed to improve the fit within the surrounding landscape. Fencing and replacement drystone walling is also proposed to tie in with existing field boundaries. Residual adverse impacts are predicted due to the severance of the open and wooded farmlands, hill and valley landscapes, and the introduction of the road corridor, its associated embankments and cuttings, overbridges, junctions, lighting and vehicle movement. The most significant impacts are predicted as the road severs dense mature woodlands at Craibstone, and open undulating farmlands and river valley at Goval to the north of the River Don. Significant impacts are also predicted as the road curves around the lower slopes of Tyrebagger Hill and severs the open farmlands around Kirkhill and Dyce, and between Goval and Blackdog. 11.1 Introduction 11.1.1 This chapter details the landscape assessment of the proposed scheme for the Northern Leg.

  • Montrose to A90 Road Link Study
    AGENDA ITEM NO 6 REPORT NO 210/16 ANGUS COUNCIL COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE – 24 MAY 2016 MONTROSE TO A90 ROAD LINK STUDY REPORT BY HEAD OF TECHNICAL AND PROPERTY SERVICES ABSTRACT This report details progress made on feasibility and options appraisal for road links from Montrose to the A90, which focus on a new access to the A90 at Stracathro and seeks approval to progress with topographical surveys and design development. 1 RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee: (i) approves the undertaking of a topographical survey on land adjacent to Hill of Stracathro to allow further design development, as detailed in this report; and (ii) approves the design development for lowering the A937 road at Hillside Rail Bridge, as detailed in this report. 2 ALIGNMENT TO THE ANGUS COMMUNITY PLAN/SINGLE OUTCOME AGREEMENT/COPORATE PLAN This report contributes to the following local outcomes contained within the Angus Community Plan and Single Outcome Agreement 2013-2016: Our communities are prosperous and fair; Our communities are safe and strong; Our communities are sustainable; and Our natural and built environment is protected and enjoyed. 3 BACKGROUND 3.1 Improving road links to the A90 from Montrose have been considered periodically in the past, however, no proposals have come to fruition. There has been on-going concerns expressed by Transport Scotland about the capacity of the Laurencekirk Junction to support growth in traffic which can potentially lead to economic growth being constrained in North Angus. The current environment and circumstances present an opportunity to apply fresh consideration to the road links, particularly with progress with City Deals centred on Aberdeen and the Tay Cities region, which potentially bring significant economic growth opportunities in North Angus if the road constraints can be addressed.
