Realignment of carriageway lanes from Infirmary Road at Sawmill Street to Anglesea Street/Old Station Road junction;
Realignment and upgrade of the Anglesea Street/South Terrace Junction to incorporate the contraflow bus lane;

The findings of the AA screening noted that no significant effects on any Natura 2000 sites is likely, and it was not necessary to undertake any further stage of the Appropriate Assessment process.
In addition, the proposed development has been screened to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required and it has been concluded that there will be no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and an EIA is not required.
