mitigation. Therefore it was considered that the project would not have significant effect on
the nature conservation value of bats.
11.9.31 It is concluded that there would be a cumulative effect on this species within the surrounding
area with respect to collision risk. This cumulative risk is considered to be of small
magnitude and slight level of effect within the context of the local bat population.
Badger
11.9.32 During the surveys at Pearie Law no badger setts were found but there was evidence of
badgers using the area. After mitigation the impacts are considered to not be significant.
11.9.33 No evidence of badger was recorded within the survey area of Harburnhead wind farm,
however a sett was noted adjacent to the survey area boundary and badgers are known to
be present in the local area.
11.9.34 Fauch Hill does not consider badgers as a receptor as part of the assessment.
11.9.35 Due to the lack of suitable foraging habitat and evidence of badger activity within the site
boundary it is concluded that the development will not add cumulatively to the effects on this
species.
11.10 Summary
11.10.1 Table 11.22 summarises the potential effects of the proposed wind farm, recommended
mitigation and enhancement actions and residual significance of the effects.
