| All planting and seeding/turfing comprised in the submitted landscape scheme, hereby approved, shall be carried out in the first planting season following the first occupation/use of the development. All planting shall be watered as necessary and competitive weed growth controlled to ensure successful establishment. Any trees or plants that die, or are removed; or become seriously damaged or diseased within a period of five years from the completion of the planting, shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species.

| 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, the approved landscape scheme and in-line with the recommendations made in the Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment by Sharpe Ecology, issued March 2025, submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. It 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 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 |
