Ralph / Giles,

 

Please find attached the updated Reptile Mitigation Strategy document. The following changes have been made:

 

1.        The wording has been changed where requested that “Should” be replaced with “will”

2.        Final para 3.6.16 section on A33 embankment added for clarity that this area is a separate management area to the Reptile receptor area.

3.        Figs 8 & 9 – Reptile Receptor Area shaded red to identify as different to A33 embankment.

 

In addition, all of the figures have been updated to accurately show the extent of the Reptile Receptor area (as is consistent with the Landscape and Ecological Management Plan and CEMP: Biodiversity documents).

 

Kind regards

 

Damien

Giles

Please find forwarded details from the applicant in response to issues you raised. Please provide your comments to allow progression of the application. Thanks.

 

 

 

Ralph,

 

I tried calling earlier and left a message.

 

In response to the comments from the Ecologist, we can change the document to replace “should” with “will” where requested if this is necessary.

 

In terms of the second point, a clear plan for how the eastern embankment will be managed is provided in the Landscape and Ecological Management Plan for the outer landscape area (submitted to address the relevant S106 obligation on 25 January 2016).

 

The reptile receptor area covers the area to the west / on top of the A33 embankment. We will provide a plan in the updated document, however the view from the road is of the existing landscape & planting that is on the east-facing embankment and not part of the receptor area – see attached cross-sectional drawing.

 

On this basis, subject to submission of the revised document, can we confirm that the Reptile Mitigation Strategy is agreed and condition 30 can be discharged?

 

I’d also be grateful if we can receive confirmation that the CEMP: Biodiversity document submitted for Condition 29 is acceptable.

 

Kind regards

 

Damien
