How will the proposed route of the Dalkeith Northern Bypass affect Dalkeith Park?
The proposed route will divide the park, cutting through tracks, listed wildlife areas and farmland. The road will be a visual disturbance in an otherwise beautiful landscape. Noise levels are bound to increase, disturbing the peaceful rural atmosphere. Much of the road will be lit at night causing light pollution. The wildlife of the River Esk Valley, a listed wildlife site will be disturbed.
