Why it was refused

  1. The information submitted for condition 2 is not considered to meet the requirements of the condition as there is information missing. This includes the statutory biodiversity metric calculation, pre-development habitat survey report and map, post-development habitat map or landscape plan. The Habitat Monitoring and Management Plan (HMMP) should be prepared in accordance with an approved Biodiversity Gain Plan, therefore the HMMP, supporting BNG information and Biodiversity Gain Plan need to be submitted together in order to discharge the condition.
  2. The Written Scheme of Investigation submitted for condition 3 is considered to be acceptable and meet part A of the condition. However, as the information submitted for the other conditions forming part of this discharge of condition application are not acceptable, this condition cannot be discharged. The condition would need to be re-applied for.

From the council's decision notice.
