| Prior to the first use of the development hereby approved, a landscape and ecological management plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to, and be approved in writing by, the local planning authority. 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;
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);

h) Ongoing monitoring and remedial measures.
The LEMP shall also include details of the legal and funding mechanism(s) by which the 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 the 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.

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 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
| This permission does not authorise the applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway since such works can only be carried out by the County Council's Approved Contractor following the issue of a license under Section 184 and 278 of the Highways Act, 1980.
The applicant should contact Worcestershire County Council's Highways Community and Response Unit, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester WR5 2NP (telephone 0845 607 2005), regarding the issue of the necessary license authorising the access works to be carried out by the County Council's Approved Contractor at the applicant's expense.
The applicant should give the County Council sufficient notice to enable, as far as possible, the licence procedure to be carried out so that there is no disruption to the applicant's programme of works. |
| Drainage arrangements shall be provided to ensure that surface water from the driveway and/or vehicular turning area does not discharge onto the public highway. No drainage or effluent from the proposed development shall be allowed to discharge into any highway drain or over any part of the public highway. |
| It is expected that contractors are registered with the Considerate Constructors scheme and
comply with the code of conduct in full, but particular reference is made to "respecting the
community" this says:
Constructors should give utmost consideration to their impact on neighbours and the public
• Informing, respecting and showing courtesy to those affected by the work;
• Minimising the impact of deliveries, parking and work on the public highway;
• Contributing to and supporting the local community and economy; and
• Working to create a positive and enduring impression and promoting the Code.
The CTMP should clearly identify how the principal contractor will engage with the local
community; this should be tailored to local circumstances. Contractors should also confirm
how they will manage any local concerns and complaints and provide an agreed Service
Level Agreement for responding to said issues.
Contractors should ensure that courtesy boards are provided, and information shared with
the local community relating to the timing of operations and contact details for a site
coordinator in the event of any difficulties.
This does not offer any relief to obligations under existing Legislation. |
| Worcestershire County Council currently uses Modeshift STARS for the submission, monitoring and review of Education Site Travel Plans. It is expected that prior to occupation, the Travel Plan will achieve Approved level accreditation and Good level accreditation within 12 months. Following this, the Good level will be maintained for a minimum period of five years in line with the condition. It is recommended that the developer makes early contact with Worcestershire County Council’s Travel Planning Officer to register onto the Modeshift STARS site and discuss the accreditation requirements. |
