Hi Tom

Thank you for consulting the GMEU.

I am satisfied that the temporary construction compound can be scoped out from any environmental assessment that may be required.  The compound is already in place and utilised for a previous scheme.  Likely receptors such as the Rochdale Canal SAC are sufficiently distant that there is not likely effect that is not theoretical.  Standard construction best practice will remove any theoretical risk from pollution and dust. 

It will also reduce longer distant traffic along the M60/M62 that could have theoretically resulted in air quality impacts upon Holcroft Moss, part of Manchester Mosses SAC or South Pennines SPA/SAC.
