The development shall not commence until a Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (the HMMP), has been prepared in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan and the approved landscape scheme, submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. It shall be based on the recommendations made in the PRELIMINARY ECOLOGICAL APPRAISAL, Ref: VCL24001_Version 001, by Viridis, dated January 2025, and shall include:
(a) a non-technical summary;
(b) the roles and responsibilities of the people or organisation(s) delivering the HMMP;
(c) the planned habitat creation and enhancement works to create or improve habitat to achieve the biodiversity net gain in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan;
(d) the management measures to maintain habitat in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan for a period of 30 years from the completion of development; and
(e) the monitoring methodology and frequency in respect of the created or enhanced habitat to be submitted to the local planning authority. Notice in writing shall be given to the Council when the habitat creation and enhancement works as set out in the HMMP have been completed.

The created and enhanced habitat specified in the approved HMMP shall thereafter be managed and maintained in accordance with the approved HMMP.

Monitoring reports shall be submitted to the local planning authority in writing in accordance with the methodology and frequency specified in the approved HMMP.

The plan shall also set out where the results of the monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the HMMP are not being met, how contingencies and/or remedial action are identified, agreed and implemented so that the development still delivers the fully functioning biodiversity objectives of the originally approved scheme.

Reason: To ensure the development delivers a biodiversity net gain on site in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.

---

The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan required by paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 shall be implemented in accordance with the details and timescale agreed within the Plan and maintained thereafter in accordance with the approved Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP)] or Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP).

Reason: To ensure that the proposed development delivers a biodiversity net gain in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.

The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition “(the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless:

(a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and
(b) the planning authority has approved the plan.
Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A TCPA 1990 The biodiversity gain plan must include:
(a) information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat;
(b) the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
(c) the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
