Burnfoot FRS Volume II Constraints Mapping<\/a><\/p>\n

The Environmental Constraints Study identifies environmental constraints to be considered in Scheme development (identifying a preferred option), design and construction. Topics within the Constraints Study Report include Population and Human Health; Biodiversity; Land, Soil, Water, Air and Climate; Material Assets, Cultural Heritage and Landscape. It informed option development and the Environmental Impact Assessment for the emerging preferred scheme and includes a summary of the Opening Public Consultation held in November \/ December 2020.<\/p>\n
