Dear Sir/Madam

Ballyoukan Juniper Wood Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) DENOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 9(5) OF THE NATURE CONSERVATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2004

SNH has reviewed the scientific interest of Ballyoukan Juniper Wood SSSI and decided that the part of the site marked on the enclosed map should not continue as an SSSI following the approvals of planning permissions by Perth & Kinross Council for the construction of a house and an adjacent garage. This is because the land is no longer of special interest due to the change to the land that has been caused by the construction of the house, garage and garden.

The denotification of this part of Ballyoukan Juniper Wood SSSI takes effect from the date of this letter.

If SNH is consulted after the date of confirmation by other bodies over operations, plans or projects affecting the land, SNH will respond in the same way as it would have done had the land not been notified.

Please contact Gwen Blyth at our Battleby office at [email protected] if you have any queries.

Yours faithfully

Denise Reed

Dear Sir/Madam

Earlshall Muir Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) DENOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 9 (5) OF THE NATURE CONSERVATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2004

This letter is to inform you that we have denotified part of Earlshall Muir Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area denotified is shown on the enclosed map. The remainder of the SSSI is unaffected and I enclose a copy of the revised citation and SSSI boundary map.

We made this decision as this area no longer contains the features of special interest. These were lost in 2003 following the development of essential infrastructure requirements for the expansion of the then Leuchars Air Base, now Leuchars Station.

The denotification of this part of Earlshall Muir SSSI takes effect from the date of this letter. Please contact David Shepherd at our Cupar office on 01738 458812 if you have any queries.

Yours faithfully

Skolie Burn Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) DENOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 9 (5) OF THE NATURE CONSERVATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2004

Dear Sir/Madam

Mollinsburn Road Cutting Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) De-notification under Section 9(5) of the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004

SNH has reviewed the scientific interest of Mollinsburn Road Cutting SSSI and decided that part of the site should not continue as an SSSI because sections of three of the exposures were destroyed to accommodate the M80 upgrade undertaken between July 2009 and June 2011.

The de-notification of this part of Mollinsburn Road Cutting SSSI takes effect from the date of this letter.

This means that from now on if the owners wish to carry out any of the activities on the list of operations requiring consent on the area concerned they will no longer need to obtain consent from SNH.

Please get in touch with Peter Kelly at our Hamilton office on 01698 421668 or via email at pe[email protected] if you have any queries about this letter.

Yours faithfully
