Any approved scheme of mitigation must be incorporated into the ecological management plan.\n(3) The ecological management plan must contain on-site biodiversity mitigation to address the biodiversity loss resulting from the construction of the generating station (subsequent to the implementation of the remediation permission), unless off-site compensation or “offsetting” is provided to address this biodiversity loss (in full or in part) to the satisfaction of the relevant planning authority.\n(4) The ecological management plan must include an implementation timetable and be implemented as approved.",
