Week 6, Day 3

Today the witness for Forth Ports was Dr Jim Hansom from Glasgow University who knows a lot about coastal geomorphology - the effects of waves wind and tides in shaping the coastline. He was led in evidence up to coffee time, and then cross-examined by the QC for Babcock. Unlike on previous occasions, she seemed to run out of steam and stop after only about an hour of cross-examination.

There then followed quite a bit of housekeeping to make arrangements for next week's site visits and the day of evidence which will hear from Peter Gilchrist for Babcock and Des Thompson for SNH, who will each provide evidence from their organisation's perspective on the likely impact on the Special Protection Area which is adjacent to the site of the proposal.

We were allowed home at 1.30pm. Quite a change from yesterday when it had been 6.45pm!
