10.Biodiversity Gain Information The following condition is the STATUTORY DEEMED BIODIVERSITY GAIN CONDITION required under Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, which you are also required to comply with prior to commencement of development: There shall be no commencement of the development hereby permitted until a Biodiversity Gain Plan has first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Biodiversity Gain Plan must address all of the matters under paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and Article 37C(2) of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015. In addition, as the development is not anticipated to proceed in phases, the matters specified under Article 37C(4) of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 must also be addressed. The Biodiversity Gain Plan to be submitted must include: a) information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat; b) the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat; c) the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat; d) any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development and the biodiversity and the biodiversity value of that gain in relation to the development; e) any biodiversity credits purchased for the development; and f) any such other matters as the Secretary of State may by regulations specify. Please be aware that:- Under paragraph 15 of Schedule 7A, the planning authority must only approve the Biodiversity Gain Plan if they are satisfied that: i. the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat is as specified in the plan; ii. the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat is at least the value specified in the plan; iii. in the case where the registered offsite biodiversity gain is specified in the plan, as allocated to the development: - the registered offsite biodiversity gain is so allocated (and, if the allocation is conditional, that any conditions attaching to the allocation have been met or will be met by the time the development begins), and - the registered offsite biodiversity gain has the biodiversity value specified in the plan in relation to the development; iv. that any biodiversity credits specified in the plan as purchased for the development have been so purchased; and v. the Biodiversity Net Gain objective is met. In addition: - In determining whether to approve the plan, a planning authority must take into account how the Biodiversity Gain Hierarchy will be followed, and any reasons where it cannot be followed (except in relation to irreplaceable habitats where the Hierarchy does not apply). Re: Irreplaceable habitat: - If prior to commencement of development the onsite habitat includes irreplaceable habitat (within the meaning of the Biodiversity Gain Requirements (Irreplaceable Habitat) Regulations 2024) there are additional requirements for the content and approval of Biodiversity Gain Plans. The Biodiversity Gain Plan must include, in addition to information about steps taken or to be taken to minimise any adverse effect of the development on the habitat, information on arrangements for compensation for any impact the development has on the biodiversity of the irreplaceable habitat. The planning authority can only approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan if it is satisfied that the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the irreplaceable habitat is minimised and appropriate arrangements have been made for the purpose of compensating for any impact which do not include the use of biodiversity credits.
11.INFORMATIVE: The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition "(the biodiversity gain condition") that development may not begin unless: (a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and (b) the planning authority has approved the plan. The planning authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan if one is required in respect of this permission is Great Yarmouth Borough Council. Based on the information available this permission is considered to be one which will require the approval of a biodiversity gain plan before development is begun because none of the statutory exemptions or BNG transitional arrangements are considered to apply.
