690073Conditions_Approval_1887.pdfPlanning conditions
- CONDITION 9: A landscape and ecological management plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to, and be approved in writing by, the Local Authority prior to the commencement of the development (including ground works or vegetation clearance). The content of the LEMP shall include the following: a) Description and evaluation of features to be managed. b) Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence management. c) Aims and objectives of management. d) Appropriate management options for achieving aims and objectives. e) Prescriptions for management actions. f) Preparation of a work schedule (including an annual work plan capable of being rolled forward over a five-year period). g) Details of the body or organisation responsible for implantation of the plan. h) Ongoing monitoring and remedial measures. i) Revised appropriate metric applied to the application site to demonstrate that no net loss to biodiversity will be achieved. j) Details of the legal and funding mechanism(s) by which long-term implementation of the plan will be secured by the developer with the management body(ies) responsible for its delivery. The plan shall also set out (where results from monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the LEMP are not being met) how contingencies and/or remedial action will be identified, agreed and implemented so that the development still delivers the fully functioning biodiversity objectives of the originally approved scheme. The approved plan will be implemented in accordance with the approved details. REASON: To ensure a net biodiversity gain in accordance with NPPF.
