Table A1 shows the construction stage effects on vehicle travellers (driver stress) as a result of the scheme. Table A2 shows Public Rights of Way (PRoW) in the Local Impact Area (LIA) impacted by scheme. Table A3 shows the construction phase road closures and diversion routes. Table A4 provides an assessment of impacts on individual farms.
