Executive Summary

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Plc (SHE Transmission) is proposing to construct a new 275 / 400 kilovolt

(kV) substation (and associated infrastructure) (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Development) on land

450 metres (m) to the north-west of Haughend Farm, approximately 3.5 km to the south-east of the town of

Alyth in Perth and Kinross.

The trees to be impacted by the Proposed Development have been surveyed and assessed in accordance with

BS 5837:2012 "Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction – Recommendations1."

Perth and Kinross Council interactive heritage map shows no entries for Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or

other conservation status at the shelterbelts near Haughend Farm.

Enquiry of Scottish Forestry Land Information Search (LIS) listed Native Woodland Integrated habitat –

secondary zone as touching the NW corner of the shelterbelts.

Although the trees likely to be impacted by the Proposed Development have been individually assessed the shelterbelts can be treated as woodlands. The overall condition was considered fair with an overall category B “trees of moderate quality with an estimated remaining life expectancy of at least 20 years” and collectively the tree quality assessment falls into the categories B2 where trees are present in numbers, growing as groups or woodlands, such that they attract a higher collective rating than they might as individuals. The creation of an access for the Proposed Development will require the felling of 26 trees. The remainder should be protected from damage by implementing a Tree Protection Area.

Arboricultural Report

1. Introduction

1.1. Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Plc (SHE Transmission) is proposing to construct a new 275 / 400

kilovolt (kV) substation (and associated infrastructure) (hereafter referred to as the Proposed

Development) on land 450 metres (m) to the north-west of Haughend Farm, approximately 3.5 km to

the south-east of the town of Alyth in Perth and Kinross.

1.2. A tree survey has been carried out by Neil Mckay Forestry Consultant Limited on the trees that are

going to be impacted by construction of the Proposed Development.

2. Third Party Liability

2.1. The limit of Neil McKay Forestry Consultant Limited indemnity over any matter arising out of this

report extends only to the instructing client. Neil McKay Forestry Consultant Limited cannot be held

liable for any third-party claim that arises following this report.

3. Methodology

3.1. The trees have been surveyed and classified in accordance with BS 5837:2012 "Trees in relation to

design, demolition and construction - Recommendations". BS 5837:2012 provides recommendations

relating to tree care, with a view to achieving a harmonious and sustainable relationship between

new construction/existing structures and their surrounding trees. The standard follows a logical

sequence of events that has tree care at the heart of the process, Figure 1 of the standard illustrates

the design and construction process and tree care.2

3.2. The survey was undertaken using the Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) methodology to conduct a

preliminary assessment of the above ground portion of the tree.

Visual Tree Assessment Survey Method

3.3. The trees included in the survey are shown in Appendix A, which include the roadside trees to the

north-west of the Proposed Development (Area A), the shelterbelt to the west of the Proposed

Development (Area B) and roadside trees to the north of the public road (Area C).

3.4. An individual detailed tree inspection was carried out on all trees within Area A and Area C, as there

is potential for trees in these areas to be impacted by the proposed construction works, namely

construction of the proposed access track. All trees within Area B were visited and recorded by

species, but as no intervention is planned, no detailed individual visual tree inspection was carried

out and instead this area is categorised as a woodland group and described in more general terms.

3.5. Each individual tree surveyed referred to the information included under ‘the schedule of trees’ and

‘category grading for the assessment of tree quality’ set out in BS 5837:2012, included in Appendix D

for information.

3.6. The individual tree survey was undertaken from ground level. No aerial inspection nor invasive

probing or drilling has been undertaken. No excavations were carried out nor soil or root samples

taken.

2 BS 5837:2012 Figure 1 The design and construction process and tree care

3.7. The height of each individual tree was estimated using a clinometer and measuring tape.

3.8. The canopy spread of each individual tree was measured on four compass points using a measuring

tape; however, where access was difficult, the spread was estimated.

3.9. Diameter at breast height (dbh) was taken of each individual tree with a rounded down girth tape.

3.10. The position of each tree was recorded using a Trimble Juno handheld GPS. The data was

downloaded onto software designed for the BS 5837:2012 tree survey.

4. Tree Survey Results

Site Overview

4.1. The Proposed Development is located within an agricultural field currently planted with carrots, which is

gently sloping to the south. The site is bounded on the north by a minor public road and to the west by a

ditch and fence separating another agricultural field.

4.2. The trees and woodland recorded by the survey can be described as early mature mixed woodlands

comprising mainly of Douglas fir and sessile oak, while other species are represented in fewer numbers.

The trees are characteristic of planted origin, in the form of a shelterbelt to the north-west corner of the

cultivated arable field.

Project Requirements

4.3. Construction vehicles accessing the proposed substation site would utilise a new proposed access track

adjoining the public road to the north-west of the proposed substation. The track would be used to provide

access for ongoing maintenance during the lifetime of the substation. The new track would be

approximately 5.5 m in width with a 1 m verge either side of the track and would be wider at the road

junction. Construction of the new track would require the removal of a number of trees in Area A, and the

pruning of branches on one tree in Area C.

Baseline Factors

4.4. The site falls within the jurisdiction of Perth and Kinross Council. The Council’s Interactive Heritage Map3

shows no entries for Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or other conservation status at the shelterbelts near

the Proposed Development.

4.5. Scottish Forestry Land Information Search (LIS)4 listed Native Woodland Integrated habitat – secondary

zone as touching the north-west corner of the shelterbelts This has no impact on the trees being surveyed.

Existing Trees

4.6. The full schedule of trees is set out within Appendix B: Schedule of Trees, with the Tree Survey Plans

included as Appendix C and Photographic Records included in Appendix E.

4.7. The full shelterbelt measures approximately 1.04 hectares.

4.8. A total of 248 trees were recorded in Area A (0.68 ha), 110 trees within Area B (0.28 ha) and 5 trees within

Area C (0.08 ha). Douglas fir and sessile oak (Photographs 1, 2 and 3 in Appendix E) were the most common

species recorded but other conifer and broadleaved species were also found, as summarised in Table 1

below;

Table 1: Tree Species Recorded

4.9. The tree form and health vary within the whole woodland surveyed. While there are a number of dead or

dying individual trees, the majority can be described as in fair condition in that while the foliage cover is

full, many individuals have constricted crowns and lack full development.

4.10. There are some 20 trees listed as dead (see photograph 5 in Appendix F).

4.11. The overall form of many of the broadleaved trees are misshapen with distorted stems and some forking.

However, there are a number of Douglas fir and oak in good condition and are fine examples within this

context.

4.12. Typically, there is old mechanical stem damage on some of the trees which face both the public road and

the fields. Notably, where affected beech trees in particular show signs of rot.

4.13. Some field side trees show a distinct undercutting by agricultural activity such as ploughing.

4.14. Overall while the tree form may have been affected by wind there is little evidence of wind-thrown trees

given the good overall rooting conditions.

4.15. There was one noted broken conifer top which was hanging against a tree stem and discarded field wire is

a hazard to walking in the vicinity of tree no. 167.

4.16. The understorey is mainly grasses and some natural regeneration is noted (see photograph 6 in Appendix

E).

Root Protection Area

4.17. The Root Protection Area (RPA) is described in the British Standard as a layout design tool indicating the

minimum area around a tree deemed to contain sufficient roots and rooting volume to maintain the tree’s

viability, and where the protection of the roots and soil structure is treated as a priority.

4.18. The RPA of all trees in Area A have been calculated in accordance with BS 5837:2012 and must be

considered where the proposed new access track is to be developed. The RPA is shown as a pink circle

around each stem position on the Tree Survey Plan (Appendix C).

Tree Quality

4.19. As a woodland, the overall categorization for areas A, B and C is Category B2, “Trees present in numbers,

usually growing as groups or woodlands, such that they attract a higher collective rating than they might as

individuals”.

5. Arboricultural Impact Assessment

5.1. The impact the Proposed Development would have on the shelterbelts results from the requirement to

develop a new access for construction and operation of the substation. No other elements of the Proposed

Development would have further impact on the existing trees.

5.2. Construction of the Proposed Development would result in the removal of 26 trees in an area amounting to

530m2, listed in the Schedule of Trees (Appendix B), in order to establish the proposed access track into the

substation and widening of the public road. The trees to be removed are highlighted on the Tree Survey

Plan (Appendix C). Table 2 below shows the number of trees by species to be removed.

Table 2: Trees to be removed

5.3. One sycamore tree to the north of the public road (Area C) may require pruning without recourse to felling,

to permit the access of large sided vehicles

5.4. Trees to be retained located directly adjacent to those trees to be removed are likely to require protection

from mechanical or other damage during construction and operation of the Proposed Development (see

Section 6 and Appendix E).

6. Tree Protection Measures

6.1. The tree protection measures apply to those trees being retained both adjacent to the proposed access

and from any works within the Proposed Development site.

6.2. The existing trees to be retained should be protected with protective fencing prior to construction, as

detailed in the Tree Protection Plan included in Appendix E of this report.

6.3. The protective fencing should be placed at a minimum of 9.20 m from the remaining trees based on the

calculation of 12 times the dbh.

7. Mitigating Tree Loss and New Tree Planting

7.1. Retention of neighbouring trees and woodland adjacent those trees required to be removed for

construction of the Proposed Development will continue to contribute towards the screening of the works

and long-term landscape character.

7.2. Some careful crown thinning will assist the development of fuller foliage and therefore health and vigour of

the remaining trees. During the same operation some dead trees adjacent to the public road (see Appendix

Species No.

Beech 1

Douglas fir 10

Sessile oak 9

Sycamore 6

Total 26

B: Schedule of Trees) could be removed as a matter of public safety bearing in mind the ecological benefits

of dead or decaying trees where they do not pose a safety concern.

7.3. Some natural regeneration was noted, which, if allowed to develop, will produce a natural understory to

the existing shelterbelts.

7.4. Post construction, native tree planting on earth mounds is proposed to the north, west and east of the

proposed substation (see Chapter 4 of this EA). This offers the positive opportunity to provide long term

screening of the Proposed Development and more than offsets the area of trees lost to the new access.

8. Post Development Pressure

8.1. During operation of the substation, vehicle movements would be constrained to the tarmac access road

and not pose any threat to the existing or new trees.

8.2. Maintenance of the ground around any newly planted native woodland area must safeguard damage from

strimming or mowing or similar management activities.

8.3. The native woodland transplants must be correctly planted and maintained until fully established.

8.4. Consideration must be given to protection from deer or other herbivores by the use of tree shelters.

9. Summary

9.1. The condition of the shelterbelts areas A, B and C as a whole is rated as Category B – “trees of moderate

quality with an estimated remaining life expectancy of at least 20 years” many individuals have an

estimated life expectancy of 20 – 40 years and beyond.

9.2. Felling of 26 no. of trees would be required to create an access to the Proposed Development site. Felling

will have to consider the RPA of the adjacent trees to be retained. Pruning of branches above the public

road of one tree may be required.

9.3. The retention of trees outside the construction area is most important in maintaining mature tree cover

offering some screening and continuity of ecological contribution. Their future should be safeguarded by

excluding any excavation works or deposition of material against stems within the RPA and via the erection

of protective fencing throughout the construction works to prevent damage being inflicted on any of the

existing trees to be retained.

9.4. Some careful light selective thinning would help the development of fuller tree crowns and a greater area

of foliage for continued tree health and vigour while also removing any individual trees which have the

potential to fall on the public road or substation site entrance.

9.5. Mitigation for tree loss is primarily through the planting of native trees on earth mound areas proposed to

the north, west and east of the substation site, while some natural regeneration within the existing

shelterbelt, Area A, will create an understory and continuity of tree cover.

10. Recommendations

10.1. All tree work should be undertaken by trained and competent personnel to current Industry standards and

guidance, including full Health & Safety Risk Assessment during the removal of existing trees to safeguard

the general public and substation site operatives alike.

10.2. Tree felling is close to the public road and the public must be safeguarded during this activity.

10.3. Trees to be felled as listed in the tree survey schedule (Appendix B) must be clearly identified.

10.4. The tree protection measures given in Appendix D should be applied to existing trees to be retained.

10.5. The ground where new trees are to be planted must be suitably prepared and of a suitable growing

medium.

10.6. Newly planted trees must be of good planting stock, planted with best practice plant handling and

adequately protected, inspected and maintained until satisfactorily established.

Appendix D

Terms Used In Schedule

Tree survey BS 5837:2012 4.4.2.5 1 Tree reference number: identification number as cross referenced with the Tree Survey plan. 2 Species: trees have been given their common and botanical name where specifically known. 3 Height: estimated rather than measured. 4 Stem diameter at breast height (dbh): calculated by measuring the circumference at a height of 1.5m from ground level to determine the diameter. 5 Branch spread: the circles indicated on the Tree Survey Plan are a representation of the overall spread of the crown. 6 Height of crown clearance: given in metres above adjacent ground level. (not shown) 7 Age class: young (YNG) up to 10 years, semi-mature (SM) 1/3 life expectancy, early mature (EM) 2/3 life expectancy, mature (M) over 2/3 life expectancy, over mature (OM) declining/moribund, veteran (V) exceptionally old tree at the end of its life. 8 Condition & Comments: the overall physiological and structural condition: good (G) sound tree needing little or no attention, fair (F) minor but rectifiable defects, poor (P) major structural and/or physiological defects that would be inappropriate to retain and/or expensive, dead (D) no longer alive or those dying and unlikely to recover. 9 Estimated remaining contribution: defined in years; less than 10, 10-20, 20-40, or over 40. 10 Category grading: trees have been given a grade to classify the quality of each tree based on the Condition Classes and subcategories given within BS 5837:2012 (see category grading below). 11 Root Protection Area: protective measures as per BS 5837:2012 section 4.6 which states that an area based on a radius equal to 12 times the stem diameter should be protected against damage to roots known as the “Root Protection Area” (RPA), given in m². A radius has also been given and shown around each tree stem on the Tree Survey Plan (Appendix C). Category grading for the assessment of tree quality (in accordance with Table 1 "Cascade chart for tree quality assessment" within BS 5837:2012) is described below: Category U: Trees unsuitable for retention - Those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. Category A: Trees of high quality - With an estimated remaining life expectancy of at least 40 years. Category B: Trees of moderate quality - With an estimated remaining life expectancy of at least 20 years. Category C: Trees of low quality - With an estimated remaining life expectancy of at least 10 years, or young trees with a stem diameter below 150 mm. Subcategory grades for the assessment of tree quality (in accordance with Table 1 "Cascade chart for tree quality assessment" within BS 5837:2012) are described below: 1 Mainly arboricultural qualities - Trees that are a particularly good example of their species, especially if rare or unusual. 2 Mainly landscape qualities - Trees, groups or woodlands of particular visual importance as arboricultural and/or landscape features. 3 Mainly cultural values, including conservation - Trees, groups or woodlands of significant conservation, historical, commemorative or other value, such as veteran trees or wood-pasture.

In order to avoid disturbances to trees to be retained and to ensure their survival, it is essential to consider, make allowances for, and plan all construction operations which will be undertaken in the vicinity of the trees, in particular: a) Site construction access; b) The intensity and nature of the construction activity; c) Contractor’s car parking; d) Phasing of construction works; e) The space needed for all foundation excavations and construction works; f) The availability of special construction techniques; g) The location and space needed for all service runs including foul and surface water drains, land drains, soakways, gas, oil, water, electricity, telephone, television or other communication cables; h) All changes in ground level, including the location of retaining walls, steps and making adequate allowance for foundations of such walls and backfillings; i) Spaces for cranes, plant, scaffolding and access during works; j) Space for site huts, temporary latrines (including their drainage) and other temporary structures; k) The type and extent of landscape works which will be needed within the protected areas and the effects these will have on the root system; l) Space for storing (whether temporary or long-term) materials, spoil and fuel and the mixing of cement and concrete; m) The effects of slope on the movement of potentially harmful liquid spillages towards or into protected areas.
