Summary and Recommendations

Summary

This report has set out the approach undertaken to the initial high-level assessment of business and regulatory impacts and demonstrates Transport Scotland’s consideration of these stakeholders throughout the A96 Corridor Review process. It identifies the potential high-level impacts on businesses, consumers and others associated with Full Dualling and the various transport inventions and options contained within A96 Corridor Review. The BRIA process started at early stages of transport intervention development to ensure intervention options maximise positive outcomes and, where possible, include appropriate engagement with stakeholders to understand specific requirements.

Recommendations

The detailed appraisal transport options and interventions are still under review. It is recommended that this Partial BRIA, and the feedback from stakeholder and public consultation, be used to inform the development of a full BRIA for any transport options to be taken forward.
