INFORMATIVE Subject to exemptions and transitional arrangements, the effect of Paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that every 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 is Somerset Council. Commencing development which is subject to the biodiversity gain condition without an approved Biodiversity Gain Plan could result in your development becoming subject to enforcement action. The Biodiversity Gain Plan must be submitted in writing, no earlier than the day after this planning permission has been granted and must be broadly in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Statement submitted with the planning application. The Biodiversity Gain Plan must set out how the biodiversity gain objective of at least a 10% gain will be met for the development granted planning permission. It must contain a number of matters to enable the planning authority to determine whether the biodiversity gain objective has been met. There is a standard Biodiversity Gain Plan government template available to complete which brings together many of these matters into one document.
