Paragraph 9 Ecological management planI1

No numbered work of the authorised development may commence until a written ecological management plan covering that numbered work has been submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority. The ecological management plan must be in substantial accordance with the ecological mitigation proposals set out in the outline landscape and ecological mitigation strategy save to the extent that modifications are necessary to reflect the findings of any pre–construction ecological constraints surveys.

The ecological management plan must include an implementation timetable and must be carried out as approved in accordance with the approved implementation timetable.

The ecological management plan must be reviewed by the undertaker and an ecological management plan with any updates required as a result of the review must be submitted to the local planning authority for approval every five years for the operational life of the authorised development to ensure that the management and maintenance objectives set out in the landscape and ecological mitigation strategy are being met. The updated ecological management plan must be implemented in accordance with the approved details.
