Consultation responses
Consultees raised no objections overall, subject to conditions, while environmental advice addressed badger setts, European sites and air quality.

This is achieved by way of conditions relating to this from the original outline being repeated.”
“…as stated on the badger survey specifications. • DFI Roads response 23.04.2025 – no objections subject to conditions. • DFI Rivers response 09.07.2025 – no objections subject to conditions. • SES response 03.06.2025 – stated that found that the project would not be likely to have a significant effect on any European site. • NI Water response on 20.05.2025 - Approval subject to conditions.”
