Good afternoon
RE: PA 23/10039/AIR - Information in relation of Conditions 06 and 14 of
22/00399/B
Though the Ecosystem Policy Team are generally content with the details provided in
the two landscape plans, we think that more details are required regarding the creation
of the pond, including a species list for planting and details about its design to ensure
that sloping sides are incorporated to allow use by wildlife.
Though species lists for the creation of the semi-natural features such as the Manx
banks and meadow area have not been supplied, we are content that the planting is to
be undertaken in line with MWT recommendations, though we are unsure if this
technically satisfies condition 14, which specifically asks for “schedules of plants (no
non-native species), noting species, plant sizes and proposed numbers / densities and a
programme for the implementation, completion and subsequent management of the
proposed landscaping.”
Best wishes
Sophie
