| Conditions or Reasons: | 6)
Prior to development, a Tree Protection Plan and an Arboricultural Method Statement shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval, based on the findings of the supporting document "BS 5837 : 2012 Arboricultural Report" dated May 2022 (Updated January 2023 - Version 2, which includes Appendix C "Tree Survey" (Drawing No's. MH8158-001 and MH8158-002 both Rev B), Appendix D "Tree Constraints Plans" (Drawing No's MH8158-003 and MH8158-004 both Rev B), and Appendix E "Preliminary Arboricultural Impact Assessment" (Drawing No. MH8158-006 Rev B). This shall also include the provision for close arboricultural supervision of the operational activities by an on-site Project Arboriculturist appointed by the applicant. The approved Tree Protection Plan and Arboricultural Method Statement shall then be implemented under the direction of the Project Arboriculturist, in strict accordance with the required sequence of operations and working methodology, with all tree protection fencing and trunk protection coverings then remaining securely in position throughout the entire course of development works.
Reason: To ensure that retained trees are not damaged in the course of development operations, and that the required working methodology is based on good arboricultural practice, by being carried out in strict accordance with the required mitigation measures, and under arboricultural supervision, so as to ensure full compliance with the necessary tree protection requirements at all times. (Policy EE4, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 15, NPPF) |

No development shall take place until a Construction Environment Management Plan has been submitted and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall identify appropriate measures for the safeguarding of protected species and their habitats and shall include:-
an appropriate scale plan showing protected zones where (any) or (specified) construction activities are restricted and where protective measures will be installed or implemented;
details of protective measures (both physical measures and sensitive working practices) to avoid adverse impacts during construction;
a timetable to show phasing of construction activities to avoid periods of the year when sensitive wildlife could be harmed (such as the bird nesting season);
a person responsible for:
compliance with legal consents relating to nature conservation;
compliance with planning conditions relating to nature conservation;
installation of physical protection measures during construction;
implementation of sensitive working practices during construction;
regular inspection and maintenance of physical protection measures and monitoring of working practices during construction; and
provision of training and information about the importance of 'Wildlife Protection Zones' to all construction personnel on site
All construction activities including protective fencing and warning signs shall be implemented and maintained in accordance with the approved details and timing of the plan unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To protect features of recognised nature conservation importance. (Policy EE3, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 15, NPPF) |

A habitat management plan shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the first use of the development hereby approved. The plan shall include:
a) description and evaluation of the features to be managed;
b) ecological trends and constraints on site that may affect management;
c) aims and objectives of management;
d) appropriate management options for achieving the aims and objectives;
e) prescriptions for managements options;
f) preparation of a work schedule (including a 5 year project register, an annual work plan and the means by which the plan will be rolled forward annually);
g) personnel responsible for the implementation of the plan;
h) monitoring and remedial/contingency measures triggered by monitoring
All works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. The works shall be undertaken in accordance with a time scale previously agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To ensure existing or new habitats affected by development are managed effectively over an established period. (Policy EE2, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, Section 15, NPPF) |
