Land to the Rear of Eden Meadows Introduction

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 This Landscape and Biodiversity Management Strategy (LBMS) has been prepared by Barton
Willmore Landscape Planning and Design (BWLPD) to provide a long-term landscape
management and maintenance strategy for the implementation and long-term after-care of the
landscape related components of a residential development of up to 40 homes and associated
open space, landscaping, means of access and other associated works (the Proposed

Development).

1.2 The LBMS is intended to satisfy the intent of Regulation 37 of the Conservation (Natural
Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994, which seeks the implementation of planning policies that
encourage landscape management.

1.3 Figure LMZ-1: Landscape Management Zone Plan has been prepared to accompany this
LBMS and illustrates the areas and landscape elements of the Proposed Development identified
as landscape components for maintenance recommendations.

1.4 In the production of this LBMS, reference is made to the Draft Preliminary Ecological Appraisal
(PEA) prepared by Native Ecology , see Appendix A.1.

1.5 In addition, reference has been made to the Natural Environment and Rural Communities

(NERC) Act 2006, Section 41 Species and Habitats of Principal Importance. UK BAP priority
habitats and species are no longer accountable at a UK level following publication of the Natural
Environment White Paper in 2011. However, the Biodiversity 2020 strategy (which succeeds
the UK BAP in England) aims to achieve protection and enhancement of priority species and
habitats (now referred to as species and habitats of principal importance) listed under Section

41 of the NERC Act.
