Planning Obligation relating to the Wild Whittington Habitat Site at Old Whittington, Chesterfield pdf icon PDF 377 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Councillor Brittain abstained from this item as he holds a membership of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.

 

Laura Kinley on behalf of the Development Management and Conservation Manager presented this item to seek authority for Chesterfield Borough Council to enter into a planning obligation by deed of agreement with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust (DWT) and the site leaseholder in relation to the Wild Whittington Habitat Site.  The agreement would require DWT/the leaseholder to provide, manage and maintain biodiversity units on the Wild Whittington Habitat Site, having regard to the provisions of the Council’s development plan, the NPPF and the Environment Act 2021.  As part of the agreement, DWT/the leaseholder would commit to giving the Council fees to cover monitoring of delivery of biodiversity units and the Council would in turn commit to using the monitoring fees to ensure that biodiversity units are being created and maintained in line with the Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan submitted by DWT.

 

The report also informed the Committee of the wider context around Biodiversity Net Gain and highlighted the importance of securing off-site net gain opportunities within the borough. 

 

*RESOLVED -

 

That the report be approved and that the Council enters into a Section 106 agreement with DWT/the leaseholder of the relevant land to ensure the delivery of biodiversity units on the Wild Whittington site.
