| 7. | Biodiversity Net Gain
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:
(a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan should be 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 would be Havering Borough Council.
There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. These are listed in paragraph 17 of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Biodiversity Gain Requirements (Exemptions) Regulations 2024.
Based on the information available this permission is considered to be one which will require the approval of a biodiversity gain plan because none of the statutory exemptions or transitional arrangements are considered to apply. |
| 8. | Statement Required by Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework, improvements required to make the proposal acceptable were negotiated with the planning agent via email. The revisions involved design, bulk, scale and massing of the proposed developments. The amendments were subsequently submitted on 05/02/2025. |
