The first was to speak with our traffic survey team about options for the traffic counter. Given the length of time this would be needed, they have recommended that a permanent solar- powered traffic counter is installed. Their feeling is that temporary tubes would fail possibly a number of times over the 18 month period and radar units require the batteries to be changed regularly (ever 2 weeks apparently). The team feel that a permanent counter could be installed at a cost no greater than £4k, which is something they could do on your behalf if you wanted them to. The second issue was to check the local school bus services, as there was a suggestion from them that there was local pick up somewhere along that back road. The first attachment suggests that this isn’t the case and the routing doesn’t involve going onto the back road at any point. It does however go along the B9092 and onto the road linking through to the A96T. Therefore, your TMP should recognise that this happens and ideally come forward with suggestions to limit any possible conflicts. The final thing was to check the status of the coastal path along the possible line of the pipeline. You will see from the second attachment that our Access Officer, Stewart Eastaugh, has confirmed that it is a core path and a PRoW. He’s suggested trying to maintain public access, which he’d be happy to talk over with the appropriate people. I hope this is useful. Kindest regards, Mark Clough Senior Engineer, Transport Planning Team Register at consult.highland.gov.uk to view, comment and be kept updated on any future Development Plan documents in Highland. ______ -_____ •,NT Nil 0 mu k~ Can N Head • r4~Ho ‘4- ~y C C • -Cr 0~ PIaIforn, Conil Ien. ° •ffli N 1• ~ z, ;emarkie an or Area ~:5y;~ >~ nrn. -nlOr .._‘ Ro emarki nj~t Rift. — RiFle “in.—,..

From: Stewart Eastaugh To: Mark Clough Subject: Ardersier Date: 26 October 2016 14:27:56 Attachments: 2016-10-26 Map for MC.pdf Hi mark, Thanks for the call. Here’s a map of the area’s core paths which also shows the location of the roadside footway we will be building. Another potential trip for SW will be the myriad paths leading from the High Street to the shore which might reasonably be considered public rights of way. They, and a temporary stopping up order for the core path under Section 208 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, might suggest that accommodating public access before, during and after construction may be a worthwhile alternative that doesn’t require another consultation period with the prospect of a public inquiry if objections are not withdrawn. There’s also the issue of their making good any of the damage they do to a core path under Section 23 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 within 14 days or other period agreed with us. The same applies to public rights of way under the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967.
