This must set out the detailed prescriptions required that will be undertaken in both the ‘establishment’ phase as well as the monitoring phase to achieve the desired habitats. Dates of commencement of BOTH the establishment phase and the monitoring for 30 year phase to be agreed between parties before s.106 is signed. This shall take into account practical environmental constraints and be supported by evidence. Best Practice should be followed. Adequate plans showing all habitats proposed for enhancement and creation. Ensure all maps are spatially accurate if using the GIS the same software should be used throughout the scheme. GPS should be used where possible to allow appropriate monitoring. Plans showing all habitats proposed for enhancement and creation Dates for commencement of ‘establishment’ and ‘monitoring’ phases agreed between parties

17 Consideration of other environmental constraints Provider to have undertaken appropriate due diligence, surveys and assessments and considered all other environmental constraints to achieving suggested habitat enhancement / creation prior to approaching the Council with a proposal e.g. (but not an exhaustive list). • Soil analysis data for specific habitat types. This may include details of any specific nutrient / soil stripping and remediation techniques that may be required and evidence that these methods have been adequately costed into the management plan to ensure feasibility. • Are the hydrological conditions suitable for habitats proposed for creation or enhancement (e.g. risk of flooding)? • Are there historic / archaeological / landscape constraints / arboricultural to proposed habitat works? These must have been adequately considered. Please provide evidence that these considerations have been considered appropriately and any mitigation required is proposed employing professional advice where required. A check of information is provided, we expect the applicant to submit all information required and to undertake due diligence, Devon LPAs will not be liable for any missing information that prevents the habitat proposals being delivered as specified
