Forthbank Wind Energy Development
Operational Effects
7.7.4 No significant residual effects are anticipated during the operation of the proposed wind energy
development.
De-commissioning Effects
7.7.5 Mitigation measures that will be agreed with the local roads authority prior to de-commissioning
should prevent significant residual effects during this process.
7.8 Summary of Effects
7.8.1 Table 7.6 below summarises the traffic and transport related environmental effects associated
with the proposed wind energy development.

Potentially significant
Traffic management plan to be agreed with local
roads department prior to de-commissioning
7.8.2 Based upon the traffic flow assessment presented in this chapter it is concluded that:
Not significant
• the effect of construction traffic on the A907 and Forth Crescent would not be
significant;
• noise and vibration effects from construction related traffic would not be significant
on residential properties around Forth Crescent;
• the impact of dust and dirt during construction would not be significant; and
• traffic generated during the de-commissioning would not be significant.
