It also provides information on some of the relevant consultation that has been undertaken from project inception to application. NB: There has been extensive consultation carried out during the Pre- Application stage, full details are provided in the Pre-Application Consultation report that has been submitted in support of the planning application. This chapter also provides information on how the consultations have fed into the proposed CTLR Project design, and the final scope and assessment of this EIA. All consultation relevant to technical aspects of the EIA has been reported in the respective chapters (Chapters 6 - 17) but have also been recorded within the Consultation Diary (Appendix 5.3). This diary has been prepared throughout the EIA process to keep a complete record of all relevant consultation that has been undertaken to inform the EIA and the design of the proposed CTLR Project. 5.2 PURPOSE OF CONSULTATION The consultation process has been undertaken to inform the EIA team’s understanding of the potential environmental sensitivities associated with the area of the proposed CTLR Project. It has also: • Sought feedback and comments from Statutory and Non-Statutory Consultees on environmental aspects of the proposed CTLR Project; • Provided Statutory Consultees, other Non-Statutory bodies, landowners/tenants and the public with information about the proposed CTLR Project and provided them with an opportunity to comment on the proposals; • Obtained information relevant to inform the environmental assessments; and • Agreed survey and assessment methodologies, where relevant. 5.3 PUBLIC EVENTS Two rounds of public events have been undertaken, the first in May and June 2018 and the second in August 2019. The purpose of the first consultation events was to provide the public with a chance to view the proposals, ask any questions and give their views on the design. The second round of exhibitions provided an update on how the design has developed since the last consultation event following further discussions with key stakeholders (e.g. the Council’s internal teams, landowners etc.), and taking on board feedback received from the public at the first consultation events. The public events were advertised through a number of outlets including social media, local newspaper adverts and on the project website. For the events held in August 2019, posters providing details were also erected in community facilities such as local shops and libraries. The documents and materials associated with the public events are available on the project website (https://www.perthtransportfutures.co.uk/cross-tay-link-road/). These were uploaded as soon as possible during and after each event to enable the public and stakeholder groups to view them at their leisure. Following each round of public events, a Q&A document was collated that summarised the main questions and the project team’s response. The Q&A documents are provided in Appendix 5.5 and Appendix 5.6. November 2019 PAGE 1 OF CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 5 CROSS TAY LINK ROAD CONSULTATION AND SCOPING EIA REPORT (VOLUME 2) 5.3.1 Public Consultation – May and June 2018 Initial consultation events were held in May and June 2018 where members of the public were given the opportunity to view the design, meet the Council team responsible for the project, meet the designers, give their views and ask any questions. The consultation events were held at the following locations: • 21 May at Perth Concert Hall • 23 May at Luncarty Memorial Hall • 28 May at Scone RDM Institute • 18 June at Coupar Angus Town Hall The events provided members of the public with the opportunity to ask any questions they may have, to raise any concerns and to provide additional background information. The material from the public consultations is located on the project website 1 . The feedback received from the public was predominately positive with the main focus being interest on what was being proposed. The key issues raised included the traffic impacts at the Broxden and Inveralmond roundabouts, the proposed CTLR Project not being implemented quickly enough, NMU provision, air quality and noise impacts and if the road should be single or dual carriageway. These events were attended by over 400 recorded attendees and a total of 74 feedback responses were received. Following the initial consultation events, the design team investigated the incorporation of relevant points and comments provided by members of the public into the CTLR design (see Image 5.1).

These events provided the communities with an update of how the design has developed since the last consultation events. Information was also provided on the initial outputs of the EIA. Feedback from this round of public exhibitions was again predominately positive: impressive display materials, well planned design, clear priority given to active travel and environmental enhancements (particularly Highfield Green Bridge and SuDS Wetland Area). However, there were some concerns raised, the main ones being around the traffic modelling, that the project is long overdue, existing congestion at Broxden and particularly Inveralmond roundabouts, air quality and road safety concerns at Scone North, and traffic increases (particularly with regard to HGVs) to communities along the A94 to the north of Scone. The second round of events was attended by over 380 recorded attendees and a total of 123 feedback responses were received. The feedback received from the exhibitions has been considered during the final preparation of the EIAR and (where possible) have been considered for the future detailed design stage of the proposed CTLR Project. The key suggested changes to the design which has been undertaken following feedback from the second round of public

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo July/August 2019 Editorial The other day I came across an interesting statistic, which you may have read in the local and national press. Apparently, Coupar Angus is one of the healthiest of places to live in the UK. It came eighth in a list of the top ten. You may view this with some scepticism - why not in the top three? Or with surprise that our town is mentioned at all. Further investigation revealed how the list was compiled. It comes from Liverpool University and the Consumer Data Research Centre. This body selected various criteria and applied them to towns and villages across the country. These criteria included access to health services - mainly GPs and dentists - air/environmental quality, green spaces, amenities and leisure facilities. With its Butterybank community woodland, park and blue spaces like the Burn, Coupar Angus did well in this analysis. If you are fit and healthy you may be gratified by this result. If however you are less fortunate, this particular league table will have less appeal. But it is salutary to learn that your home town has many advantages.

FAULT-BASED AND STRICT LIABILITY IN THE LAW OF NEIGHBOURS MARÍA PAZ GATICA RODRÍGUEZ Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract By the end of the twentieth century, and after a long line of conflicting case law, the question about the basis of liability in nuisance was settled: in Scotland, damages are awarded only upon proof of fault (RHM Bakeries (Scotland) Ltd v Strathclyde Regional Council 1985 SC (HL) 17). Fault, in turn, can adopt many forms: malice, intention, recklessness, negligence, and conduct causing a special risk of abnormal damage (Kennedy v Glenbelle Ltd 1995 SC 95). Many aspects of this seemingly clear picture, however, remain problematic. On the one hand, the way in which this model is interpreted and applied gives place to particular forms of liability that can actually be characterised as strict.
