The results are available for community groups and partner agencies to use, for example, to assist with service planning or for community-led action plans.

The route corridor includes a connection from the A78 Trunk Road in North Ayrshire to Cowal via a 3.0km and 2.53km fixed link crossing between the mainland (within the vicinity of Portencross) and the Isle of Bute via Little Cumbrae Island and a 0.7km fixed link crossing between the Isle of Bute and Cowal (within the vicinity of the Colintraive to Rhubodach ferry crossing). From east to west, a new section of carriageway will be required between the A78 Trunk Road and the fixed link crossing to the Isle of Bute. Once on the Isle of Bute, the route corridor then generally follows the existing B881, A844 and A886. Once on Cowal the route corridor generally follows the A886 again and thereafter the A815 to tie back into the A83 Trunk Road at Cairndow. The approximate length of the route corridor where no road currently exists is approximately 6.7km with the full route corridor approximately 90km in length. The fixed link crossings to the Isle of Bute will provide significant technical challenges. This area is used by large marine vessels as well as Ministry of Defence (MOD) submarines which are based at Faslane and Coulport.

The master plan for the forest prescribes an approach to accessing and managing the three community owned areas of woodland during the next 20 years.
