Traffic (7)

Looking at the development proposals from the perspective of access alone, there are far better options for access to and from the largest road in the area, the B961, if the hen sheds were simply to be located elsewhere.

There are two options, one being near to the wind turbine already in place on the applicant’s land, just off the B961, and the other near to the existing collection of large farm buildings at North Mains of Cononsyth. Although the latter are not shown on the plans accompanying the scoping document as being part of the Cononsyth Farms Ltd demise, the land (and presumably the buildings) form part of the extended business operations of the applicant and his family.

Road access to either of the potential locations appears remarkably simple, being directly off a long straight stretch of the B961, with excellent sight lines and only minimal work needed to enlarge splays and possibly install a few additional signs, advising of a farm entrance.

The potential location could be to either the north or south of either access point, and, frankly, anywhere within the area outlined in the diagram.
