According to HSE, an accident could result in ''a large number of casualties'' and people receiving ''a dangerous dose of thermal radiation.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News - Pipeline concern for T in the Park )〕 Ever since the announcement, concerns have been raised about the new location.

An SEP spokesman said: There is a scientific calculation of network capacity and flow rates that can be applied to the road network being used by the event. A desktop modelling exercise has been performed and it was successful. We are confident of our plans and are extremely experienced in managing traffic plans in rural areas. Road safety is of the utmost importance to us and consideration is being given to this. Speed reductions will be in place on certain key roads around the event, as well as other measures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=T in the Park traffic gets scientific solution )〕 In February 2015, a pair of ospreys returned to their long-term roost despite attempts to usher them to a new custom-built nest. It is understood that the ospreys' return to their former home means a buffer zone of 2500 ft will likely be required to safeguard them during the three-day festival encroaching significantly on the proposed festival site. A spokesman for RSPB Scotland said the wildlife organisation was "fully satisfied" the birds had returned to the old nest. This was disputed and the police were called after DF Concerts tried to divert the birds to the new nest by using balloons, flags, and a cherry picker which RSPB Scotland condemned as ''unethical and unacceptable'', although not illegal. James Reynolds of RSPB Scotland said: "We are aware that the ospreys have been reported at the nest site and indeed we have some video footage that shows one of them alighting on the nest with a stick". A T in the Park spokeswoman denied any wrongdoing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Police called to T in the Park site at Strathallan as osprey returns - Dundee & Tayside - News )〕 Shortly after the event RSPB Scotland stated the Strathallan Estate’s ospreys were fine A spokesman said: “The ospreys were closely monitored over the weekend and both adult birds are still present at the nest site with their chicks, and behaving normally.〔http://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/local/perth-kinross/t-in-the-park-rspb-scotland-says-strathallan-estate-ospreys-coped-well-1.889628〕 The event was finally approved in May despite 1,600 letters of objection sent to Perth and Kinross council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Councillors approve Strathallan T in the Park plan )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strathallan T in the Park move gets entertainment licence )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「T in the Park 2015」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
