The payment will need to be secured upon completion of built phase of the development. payment for habitat management and maintenance (30 years) - 3.22 units X £47,003.26 per unit = £151,350.48 (index linked) in accordance with thereafter approved Biodiversity Net Gain Plan. The payment will need to be secured upon completion of built phase of the development.1) Would it be possible to find out where the £151,350.48 is paid to (e.g. to a company who manages the Conservation, or the council, or to a company appointed by the developers to carry out work over the next 30 years) ? I am trying to find out if this money is protected to be used specifically in the management of the biodiversity on the proposed habitat creation area, and who carries out the habitat enhancement work ?2) Could I also get a link or copy to the Biodiversity Net Gain Plan mentioned in the officer report above.
