CHRISTMAS 2015

 

The developers have stated that 'Clearance and subsequently construction activity are scheduled to commence on site in the New Year'.  To meet the Conditions set by the Planning Inspector in the Appeal Decision Report, this will require on-site activity prior to construction in order to provide evidence that the Conditions have been met.  This evidence will be submitted to the local planning authority (Nottingham City Council) in the form of a Reserved Matters application which will be open to consultation; we understand that this is imminent.  We have already seen that a firm has cut down part of a hedgerow in order to determine the extent of a Japanese knotweed outcrop in that vicinity prior to its removal; there are strong legislative procedures to be adhered to and a licensed contractor is being used for the work, aided by an arboriculturalist to ensure that the removal of the hedge components does not contravene the categories defined in the arboricultural survey reported in 2013. 

 

Other outstanding work to meet the Conditions include a bat survey on 120 Russell Drive prior to demolition, a survey of amphibia, details of the retention/ enhancement of existing trees and hedgerow both within and around the perimeter, an arboricultural method statement specifying measures for the protection of those trees and hedgerows being retained, a repeat survey to identify and map pernicious weeds and define how they will be dealt with, a management plan for the replacement allotments, further details on the Public Open Space areas including maintenance and management, a management plan to safeguard the water environment of Martin's Pond and Bilborough Brook, a habitat retention/creation/management plan for the whole site including areas which will have public access.  Plus a whole raft of Conditions relating to flooding/ drainage, contamination, energy, housing, management and others.  Twenty-five comprehensive Conditions in all.
