Good afternoon The Ecosystem Policy Team can confirm that we are content with Ecology Vannin’s Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) dated January 2024 and Invasive Species Management Plan dated 2024 . All works must be undertaken in line with the recommended mitigation/protection measures, with the addition that biodegradable oil must be used in all plant and machinery. However, we do not see that information has yet been provided which satisfies Condition 5 – “No works of development on site shall commence prior to the submission of a habitat mitigation plan, written by a suitably qualified ecological consultancy, has been provided to DEFA Planning and approved in writing. The plan should contain details of propionate habitat replacement works, alongside a timetable for implementation. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.” Best wishes

## Sophie
