| A landscape and ecological management plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to, and be approved in writing by, the local planning authority prior to the commencement of works of the development. The content of the LEMP shall be guided by the requirement to achieve Biodiversity Net Gain and maintain this after implementation, and 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;

| Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Nesting birds are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Any works that could potentially cause disturbance to nesting birds including mitigation
measures should be ideally conducted outside the main bird nesting season (March – August inclusive). If works are carried out during the nesting season then a suitably qualified ecologist should make a check for nesting birds immediately before works commence.

Buildings materials must not be stored on the right of way,
Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with the public's use of the right of way.
No additional barriers are placed across the right of way.
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times. The Definitive Map is a minimum record of public rights of way and does not preclude the possibility that unrecorded public rights may exist, nor that higher rights may exist than those shown. |
