11.100 This construction traffic assessment/transport statement concludes that
there would be a short term, insignificant increase in traffic levels for both
of the access routes to the site. A transport management plan will be
provided to minimise and control any minor impacts of the proposed
construction traffic.
11.101 Abnormal loads will be normally timed during off-peak periods in order to
avoid delays to other road users at times to be agreed with the police and
the highways authorities.
11.102 Traffic generated during the operation and maintenance of the wind farm
will be minimal and will not result in any significant impact.
11.103 Traffic generated during decommissioning of the wind farm is likely to be
lower than the levels associated with construction and is therefore not
expected to be significant. An appropriate decommissioning assessment
would be undertaken and a transport management plan prepared prior to
the decommissioning of the wind farm.
