1. INTRODUCTION
Purpose Of The Management Plan
1.1 The purpose of this landscape and ecological management plan is as follows:
• To ensure that clear objectives for the public open space landscaped areas
within the Wider Green Infrastructure of Frenchay Hospital are agreed and
laid down;
• To set clear standards for the performance of landscape maintenance work

following handover from the landscape contractor;
• To identify, manage and resolve possible conflicts between different users

of the site;
• To develop work programmes and schedules for landscape maintenance

staff;
• To help in the allocation of financial resources for landscape maintenance;
• To help monitor success and progress against management targets;
• To ensure that the ecological interest of the site is protected in the long-
term.
Planning Background
1.2 This Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) has been produced to
support the Reserved Matters application for the Wider Green Infrastructure of
the Frenchay Development.
1.3 This LEMP is written in accordance with the approved LEMP, (ref. R.0395_01F)
produced in order to discharge planning condition 17 in relation to the planning
application (Application number: PT13/0002/O).
Management Aims
1.4 The main aims for the Wider Green Infrastructure landscape management and
maintenance are:
• To ensure that existing site features are appropriately managed to

maximise longevity and allow them to retain their size and natural shape;
• To retain, protect and enhance the nature conservation value of existing

and new habitats across the site and to protect and enhance biodiversity;
APRIL 2018 | RVF/AMS/SK | R0395_14G Page | 1

Redrow Homes
• To ensure long-term management of retained and created habitats to

maintain quality and offer suitable habitat for wildlife;
• To ensure that newly planted areas become established;
• To present an attractive and safe environment for home owners, workers

and other users;
• To ensure that hard and soft landscape areas are fit for purpose and do
not pose a health and safety hazard to the public;
• To carry out maintenance work according to best practice using

sustainable techniques and materials;
• To offer recreational space for residents and locals, whilst meeting the
needs of wildlife;
• To use locally indigenous species, where appropriate, to reinforce local

distinctiveness and character and provide maximum benefit to local
wildlife;
• To ensure provision and connectivity for wildlife within and between new
and existing habitats;
• To provide an appropriate level of management intervention ranging from

a moderate (recreational areas) to a minimal approach;
• To fulfil all the legal requirements in relation to the protection,

management and enhancement of the ecological features of the
management site, in particular, those that relate to nature conservation;
• To ensure the protection and management of target species/groups,

including bats, badger, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and local
flora;
• To contribute to LBAP targets and strategies, by increasing net biodiversity

on the site;
• To monitor the success of management and undertake reactive

management and modification of the operations of the Landscape and
Ecological Habitat Plan, where required.
1.5 Note: refer to the Arboricultural Management Plan produced to discharge the
planning conditions associated with the Lime Avenue (by Pegasus, October 2015)

Redrow Homes
for comments upon the cyclical re-pollarding and epicormic growth removal to the
trees within the Lime Avenue.
Timings
1.6 The management and maintenance tasks set out in this plan are to be
undertaken by a landscape maintenance contractor once construction works are
complete.
1.7 During demolition all existing landscape features to be retained will be protected
using tree protection fencing as shown on the Tree Protection Plan. This will
ensure that the landscape features to be retained, including any sensitive areas,
will be protected from damage during demolition.
1.8 Any tree works required prior to demolition will be as set out in the Arboricultural
Method Statement.
Funding
1.9 The maintenance of the landscape features detailed within this LEMP will be
supported as agreed within the S106 through contributions paid by the developer
and Parish Council contributions where relevant (eg. Croquet and Cricket Pitch).
Review
1.10 This document is based on the detailed wider green infrastructure landscape
proposals submitted as part of the RM application and should be seen as an
operational guide, subject to change and improvement as the different landscape
features mature and develop. We recommend that this management plan is
reviewed and republished at five yearly intervals to ensure the management aims
are still required and relevant.

2. SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 The Wider Green Infrastructure landscape proposals are located along the north
east, eastern and southern boundary.
2.2 Henceforth the Wider Green Infrastructure landscape proposals will be referred to
as ‘the site’ within this document.
2.3 The existing landscape framework within the site typically comprises: retained
parkland trees, historic or otherwise, in particular a mature lime avenue; retained
woodland planting along the north-east and eastern boundaries; and an area of
open parkland south and east of the lime avenue. The majority of the existing
tree planting will be retained and supplemented with additional tree planting.
2.4 Recreational facilities will be provided within the southern area of retained green
space, as per the Public Open Space Measurements Plan (Appendix 2). These will
include two tennis courts (relocated), a croquet lawn, a two lane petanque pitch
and a cricket pitch.
2.5 A large equipped area for play will be located at the western end of the southern
portion of the site.
2.6 The retention of the southern line of the lime avenue within the site, a historic
feature, will enable a significant element of the landscape framework to be
retained. The avenue will be managed to clear undergrowth and allow the
remaining trees space to grow. Management of the retained and new planting
associated with the lime avenue must be undertaken as per the Arboriculture
Management Plan relating to discharge of conditions associated with a Lime Tree
Avenue at a Former Hospital Site, produced by Pegasus Oct 2015.
2.7 Features that provide the highest ecological value on the site will endeavour to be
retained as the design progresses from outline to detailed design. These include:
woodland habitats; boundary parkland grassland and trees; and the woodland
belt along the north-east boundary, which supports a main badger sett.
2.8 Below are the landscape enhancements and features which are included in the
Wider Green Infrastructure detailed landscape proposals:
• New planting of evergreen and deciduous parkland trees chosen to

enhance the historic landscape character;

Redrow Homes
• Enhancement of existing grassland and creation of new grassland areas,

with a variety of types such as amenity grass, long species rich grass and
wildflower meadows;
• Ornamental planting, such as shrub/herbaceous plants around the

equipped play area;
• Retention, positive management and enhancement planting to the existing

pond;
• Retain existing access routes through open spaces with appropriate hard
surfacing;
• The Allotments will be retained and improved through clearance of scrub

vegetation with the plots laid out, levelled and topsoiled (refer to Appendix
4 for the management table for the Allotments);
• Providing appropriate street furniture such as benches, seats, picnic

benches, litter bins, signage, information boards, dog bins etc.; and
• Provision of recreational opportunities in the form of tennis courts, a

croquet lawn, a two lane petanque pitch, a cricket pitch (with pavilion) and
an equipped area for play.
2.9 In addition to habitat retention and enhancement, the scheme will include the
creation of hibernacula within woodland habitats from deadwood and log piles, as
well as the installation of new bat roosting and bird nesting features on retained
trees.
Exclusions
2.10 As previously discussed, the management of the Lime Tree Avenue is considered
within the Arboriculture Management Plan (produced by Pegasus Oct 2015)
submitted to discharge the relevant planning conditions associated with a Lime
Tree Avenue at a Former Hospital Site and is not included within this LEMP.
2.11 As stated above, in paragraph 2.8 the Community Woodland is subject to an

additional management plan, thus this LEMP should be read in conjunction with
the Woodland Management Plan produced by Barton Hyett Associates (reference
R2114_WMP_June 2017).

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 This section details the environmental considerations that need to be taken into
account in order to enable a full landscape and ecology management strategy for
the site.
Horticultural Peat
3.2 Horticultural peat is not to be used as mulch on any beds or as a soil conditioner,
and wherever possible plants grown without peat will be preferred to those grown
in peat.
Recycled Materials
3.3 Where appropriate use should be made of materials made from recycled
components, e.g. wood chip mulch.
Pesticides/Herbicides
3.4 The existing pond and it’s margin is to be maintained with the minimum use of
any chemicals to control weeds or pests. Weed control of areas of transplant tree
and shrub planting is to be achieved by using mulch mats and hand weeding. The
control of invasive and pernicious weeds can be carried out with targeted
applications of glyphosate-based herbicides.
Water Management
3.5 Where necessary maintenance staff are to water plants at appropriate times of
the day to ensure minimum water evaporation. If appropriate and available,
recycled water should be used, e.g. from rainwater harvesting.
Habitat Management
3.6 Opportunities for the creation of additional micro-habitats and habitat

enhancement should be taken wherever possible. For instance this could include
working with the local Wildlife Trust to erect bat and bird boxes; and allowing
deadwood, jagged stumps, splits, fungal growths and holes in tree trunks to
remain unless they are creating a safety hazard.
3.7 Ivy should be removed where it is growing into tree canopies and causing
arboricultural concern, or where it is causing reduced light levels and affecting the
success of the woodland ground flora. Any ivy to be removed shall be inspected
by an Ecologist prior to the works to ensure no roosting or hibernating bats are
present.

Redrow Homes
4. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
4.1 All trees and shrubs shall be checked at each maintenance visit for damage,
security, firmness, fixing and support.
4.2 Any new shrubs, hedges or trees which fail1 to shall be replaced annually with the
same variety at the size specified on the original landscape planting plans. Trees
and shrubs should be checked in September and marked with paint, or noted on
a plan, as necessary. Replacements will be planted during the following planting
season. If a particular species fails to establish successfully then an alternative,
comparable species should be considered as replacement, in agreement with the
landscape consultant and the LPA.
4.3 Amenity bark mulch shall be topped up annually to a depth of 75mm where there
is bare soil in planted areas. To avoid accidentally damaging plants herbicides will
not be used to control weeds once foliage covers 75% of the ground surface.
4.4 There will also be a 1m diameter circle of mulch around trees in grass in order to
suppress grass and weed growth and minimise the risk of mower/strimmer
damage.
4.5 All root protection areas of retained trees will be kept free from disturbance e.g. a
rotavator will not be used in these areas.
4.6 Care should be taken not to overwater trees. Until well established all new shrubs
and trees are to be watered during the growing season following any dry periods
of 7 days. Planting areas are to be brought up to field capacity at each visit and
each tree is to receive 40 litres or as required. Care should be taken to ensure
applied water is absorbed into the rootzone and does not run off the surface.
4.7 Following the initial growing season soil water will be assessed in the root zone of
trees when there has been no rain for 14 days. Trees will then be watered if
required.
4.8 No pruning works to trees, hedgerows or shrubs are to be undertaken during the
general bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works
are essential for public safety. Essential works outside of this time period should
be subject to checks by an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
1
Note - The S106 requires the POS to be maintained in perpetuity, therefore does not limit the
time period for the planting of replacements.

Redrow Homes
4.9 All tree surgery work is to be carried out to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work -
Recommendations, and should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and
competent contractor. If tree works are required, a suitably qualified Ecologist
should be contacted to advise on bat roosting suitability, and a pre-works survey
may be required. Future tree works to trees covered by a TPO may be subject to
TPO applications to be submitted to the LPA.
4.10 It is recommended that all new and existing planting on site be subject to on-
going management according to ecological principles to maximise the value of
these habitats to wildlife. Such an approach will involve minimised use of
pesticides and vegetation pruning works to take place outside of the bird nesting
season.
4.11 If required, a separate tree protection scheme will ensure that the retained trees
are not damaging during the construction process.
4.12 If it is found that any trees to be retained have been damaged a process of
assessment by a suitably qualified Arboriculturist and ongoing monitoring to
assess their condition will be undertaken.

5. MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATION
Retained Trees
Management Aim
• To prolong the life and enhance the aesthetic and wildlife value of the
existing trees.
Management Objectives
• To maintain the health and visual amenity of retained trees;
• To maintain a varied age and structure of trees on site;
• Maintain appropriate level of ivy cover on trees to enhance opportunities

for bats and birds without causing adverse effects on tree health;
• To take care in construction and maintenance operations near the retained

trees; and
• To enhance their ecological/ biodiversity value;
5.2 All tree surgery work is to be carried out to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work -
Recommendations, and should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and
competent contractor. If tree works are required, a suitably qualified ecologist
should be contacted to advise on bat roosting suitability, and a pre-works survey
may be required.
5.3 Where suitable, deadwood taken from tree pruning will be retained in situ and
woodpiles will be created using cut materials from tree management works.
5.4 Hygiene works will be avoided, for example, fungal fruiting bodies should not be
removed nor trees felled unless classified as dangerous. Where a tree poses a
health and safety hazard, advice will be sought from a qualified Arboriculturalist.
5.5 No pruning works to trees are to be undertaken during the general bird-nesting
season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works are essential for public
safety. Essential works outside of this time period should be subject to checks by
an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.6 All root protection areas of retained trees will be kept free from disturbance e.g.
no rotavation will take place in these areas.
5.7 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 1 for the Retained Trees Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Retained Woodland
Management Aim
• To maintain and enhance existing woodland habitats on the site for the
benefit of wildlife;
• To increase the functionality of the existing woodland as a visual amenity

resource.
• To maintain the health and visual amenity of retained woodland;
• To enhance the ecological / biodiversity value of retained woodland;
• To improve the biodiversity of woodland understorey flora and ensure it

covers 10-30% of the woodland area;
• To provide a total tree canopy cover of between 70% and 90%;
• To minimise pedestrian access within areas of woodland to protect

habitats;
• To improve the condition of retained woodland through the removal of any

existing rubbish/litter/debris and unwanted-structures; and
• To ensure no Schedule 9 non-native plant species are present (Wildlife and

Countryside Act 1981).
5.8 No pruning works to trees or shrubs are to be undertaken during the general
bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works are
essential for public safety. Essential works outside of this time period should be
subject to checks by an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.9 A detailed survey of the retained areas of woodland will be performed by a

qualified Arboriculturalist, following which in conjunction with the Local Planning
Authority an initial management programme will be produced for the retained
woodland, along with a plan illustrating the /detailing the removal works, to be
approved by the local planning authority. This is likely to include thinning
operations to improve the structure and allow continuous canopy cover that will
aid in its long term management.
5.10 In the year following any initial works, as set out by the Arboriculturalist,
selective thinning of the retained woodland will take place to encourage diversity

Redrow Homes
ground flora and varied age structure. Exact details of thinning works will be
confirmed following the initial detailed survey of woodland areas.
5.11 During the initial survey the trees will be inspected for defects and poor health. If
an Arboriculturalist identifies any trees as diseased or a health and safety risk,
then necessary remedial works will be carried out as soon as possible.
Consultation with the Ecologist with regards to potential for roosting bats will be
undertaken prior to any action being taken. Following the initial inspection, a
qualified Arboriculturalist will assess the necessary timescales for on-going
inspections for defects and poor health, typically at three yearly intervals.
5.12 Any exposed cavities, hanging and fallen dead wood (which does not pose a
health and safety risk or block public access routes) will be retained in situ to
provide valuable habitat for bats, birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates
5.13 Annual monitoring surveys will take place by a qualified Ecologist to identify any
non-native invasive species required for removal.
5.14 In certain areas of the retained woodland, where important ecological habitats
are located or for areas allocated for nature conservation, pedestrian access will
be discouraged. Where frequent pedestrian access is noted within these sensitive
areas (i.e. where paths are developing), additional planting of shrub species will
be implemented to discourage access. This may then require temporary fencing
until shrub/understorey planting is established enough to form a barrier.
5.15 Natural regeneration will be encouraged following storm damage/strong winds, by

allowing light back to the woodland floor a greater diversity of woodland ground
flora and fauna will be encouraged.
5.16 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 2 for the Retained Woodland Management Table and
to the Woodland Management Plan produced by Barton Hyett Associates
(reference R2114_WMP_June2017)

Redrow Homes
Retained Coppice Areas

Management Aim
• To coppice areas of woodland using a traditional good management
practice to encourage biodiversity.
• To maintain the coppiced trees to ensure their on-going health and
longevity;
• To encourage the biodiversity value of the woodland floor fauna and flora;
• To remove invasive species; and
• To keep coppice woodland areas free from litter and other waste.
5.17 An initial survey will be undertaken by a qualified arboriculturalist of the existing

areas of coppice woodland to establish the species mix and what level of
coppicing has been undertaken historically. Using this information a regime of
coppicing will be established, with 25% of the species cut back every five years
on rotation, the timings for coppicing are dependant upon the species and will be
confirmed following the initial survey.
5.18 Coppicing will allow light back to the woodland floor and encourage a greater
diversity of woodland ground flora and fauna. By managing the woodland at
different stages of regrowth, slightly different ecosystems are established.
5.19 It is recommended that coppicing take place during the dormant winter months,
i.e. from December to March. No pruning works are to be undertaken during the
general bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works
are essential for public safety. Essential works outside of this time period should
be subject to checks by an Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.20 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 3 for the Retained Coppice Areas Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Retained Scrub
Management Aim
• To manage the existing areas of scrub to maximise biodiversity and
habitat value.
Management Objective
• To maintain the retained scrub to ensure their on-going health and
longevity;
• To enhance the biodiversity value of the retained scrub;
• To remove invasive species; and
• To keep areas free from litter and other waste.
5.21 An initial review will be undertaken of the existing areas of scrub to establish the
current level of management. Using this information a regime of rotational cutting
will be established, with 20% of the scrub being cut back every third year. When
cutting, avoid creating access routes.
5.22 Adjacent patches of scrub should not be cut sequentially, as this reduces the
foliage available for invertebrates to feed on.
5.23 Edges should be cut as a scalloped edge between scrub and adjacent low
vegetation (e.g. grass/shrub/tree stands).
5.24 It is recommended that cutting of scrub take place during the dormant winter
months, i.e. from December to March. No pruning works are to be undertaken
during the general bird-nesting season of 1st March to 31st August inclusive.
5.25 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 4 for the Retained Scrub Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Retained Pond
Management Aim
• To maintain the pond and associated marginal / aquatic planting as a safe
and attractive landscape feature with ecological value.
• To maintain the pond in a safe and attractive condition;
• To keep the pond free from litter and rubbish;
• Maintain planting in a good condition and to control weeds / algae and

other opportunistic or invasive species; and
• To ensure the marginal and aquatic planting maintains ecological value.
5.26 An initial survey of the pond by a qualified Ecologist will be undertaken to

establish the current type and extent of vegetation, following which
recommendations will be made for the initial management of the pond i.e.
removal of overgrown / invasive planting or algae.
5.27 Additional planting of appropriate aquatic and marginal plant species will take
place to increase the biodiversity of the pond whilst retaining a habitat of
ecological value, refer to Appendix 1 for the Pond Enhancement Proposals plan
(drawing reference R0395_16).
5.28 The management of the pond should ensure a safe and attractive water feature
whilst maintaining biodiversity value.
5.29 Any maintenance of the existing pond will be undertaken between October and
February to avoid impacts on amphibians using these features for breeding and to
lie outside of the general bird-nesting season.
5.30 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 5 for the Retained Pond Management Table.

Redrow Homes
New Tree Planting

Management Aim
• To ensure successful establishment of new tree planting;
• To present a visible indication of high quality maintenance.
• To maintain newly planted trees to ensure good survival rate and
development;
• To minimise competition from grass and weeds; and
• To maintain well-shaped healthy trees which do not present a hazard to

site users.
5.31 An annual Quantified Tree Risk Assessment of all trees will be carried out by a
qualified Arboriculturist and any necessary remedial works carried out as soon as
possible. All arisings shall be removed from site.
5.32 All tree work should be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 (or any
subsequent updates). New tree management and maintenance and any
replacement tree planting should be carried out in accordance with BS
8545:2014.
5.33 Tree stakes and ties will be regularly checked during the establishment period
and adjusted as necessary to ensure that the developing trees are not damaged.
Stakes and ties will be removed by the landscape maintenance contractor at the
earliest opportunity (between year 3 and year 5) when he considers that the
trees are self supporting. All stakes and ties will be removed from site to a legal
disposal facility.
5.34 There will be a minimal pruning policy for trees as pruning wounds can provide a
source of infection. Formative pruning of new trees will be carried out to remove
dead and diseased wood and to create a well-balanced tree with a single leader.
Clear stems of 2 metres will be maintained by rubbing off any shoots and when
the trees reach 5 to 6 metres high lower branches will be removed to give a clear
stem height of approximately 2.4 metres.
5.35 No pruning works are to be undertaken during the general bird-nesting season of
1st March to 31st August inclusive, unless works are essential for public safety.

Redrow Homes
Essential tree works outside of this time period should be subject to checks by an
Ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
5.36 If trees die the reason for death shall be investigated and addressed before
replanting a replacement. If death is due to the planting conditions these shall be
ameliorated. If death is due to pests or disease and likely to be present in the
future a resistant species or an alternative similar tree shall be selected.
5.37 Where trees have become moribund due to compaction or lack of nutrients soil
aeration techniques and the use of inoculants shall be considered.
5.38 Care should be taken not to overwater trees, the soil water will be assessed in
the root zone of the trees when there has been no rain for 14 days. Trees will be
watered if required. Once established (i.e. after 2 to 3 years) trees should not
require watering.
5.39 All newly planted trees over 1.5m high will be held so that movement at the root
collar is minimised until new roots have developed to anchor the tree. Trees will
establish anchor roots better, increase stem girth and form a better stem taper if
it is allowed to move in the wind (whilst remaining firmly fixed at ground level).
Therefore, low staking (75mm dia x 1.5m length) will be used and attached to the
tree at approximately 600mm above ground level. The trees will be staked using
proprietary rubber ties and must be firmly fixed with a spacing device to prevent
chafing against the tree.
5.40 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 6 for the New Tree Planting Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Amenity Grass, Long Species Rich Grass, Wildflower Meadow and Bulbs
Management Aim
• For amenity grass areas to present visible indication of high quality,
regular site maintenance;
• For the long species rich grass / wildflower meadow grass and bulb areas
to be maintained as attractive landscape features with high ecological
value.
• To maintain amenity grass and long species rich grass areas at specified
height;
• To control weeds in amenity lawns;
• To keep grass areas free from litter and other waste;
• To allow bulbs areas to flower each year and to enhance species richness
by maintaining a local seed base;
• To limit scrub invasion within wildflower areas;
• To increase the floristic diversity of these areas, and manage for benefit to
wildlife; and
• To keep grass areas in good condition.
5.41 Note: Grass growth regulator will not be permitted
5.42 In preparing grass areas it will be ensured that root protection areas of retained
trees will be kept free from disturbance e.g. no rotavation will take place in these
areas.
5.43 Amenity grass areas shall have a well kept appearance at all times and shall be
regularly cut per annum to maintain a height of between 25 and 65mm. Long
species rich grass shall be cut less regularly to maintain a height of 100-150mm,
cutting will be suspended from late May to late July/early August to allow species
to flower and seed.
5.44 Arisings shall be swept from hard surfaces adjacent to amenity grass / long
species rich grass areas after each visit.
5.45 Junctions between amenity grass or long species rich grass areas and plant beds
and hard surfaces shall be regularly edged and trimmed to maintain a neat and

Redrow Homes
tidy appearance. In order to avoid damage to trees in amenity grass areas / long
species rich grass areas no mower or strimmer will be allowed within 1 metre of a
tree trunk.
5.46 Litter shall be hand picked and bagged from all grass areas prior to cutting. Bags
shall be removed from site and legally disposed of.
5.47 Areas of failed grass shall be prepared and re-sown with the specified seed mix
either in April or September.
5.48 Long species rich grassland will be established using an appropriate seed mix
suitable for regular mowing, an example of which is Emorsgate’s ‘General Purpose
Meadow Grassland Mixture’ EG1, but alternatives from other suppliers may be
acceptable. No herbicide shall be used on longer grassland areas to allow species
richness and to encourage wildflowers.
5.49 Wildflower meadow will be established using an appropriate wildflower seed mix,
an example of which is EW1 – Woodland Mixture by Emorsgate, but alternatives
from other suppliers may be acceptable.
5.50 The wildflower grassland to along the north eastern boundary will be cut on a
rotational basis, creating a varied sward structure and diversity of micro-climate
conditions that will benefit invertebrates. A single cut will be undertaken in late
August/September to ensure that the main flowering and seeding period is
avoided. All arisings will be removed from these areas following the cut. To the
southern boundary the wildflower grassland areas will be cut as a whole, with a
single cut as per the north eastern boundary.
5.51 For croquet lawn and cricket pitch grass maintenance refer to the following
section.
5.52 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 7 for the Amenity Grass, Long Species Rich Grass,
Wildflower Meadow and Bulbs Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Croquet Lawn and Cricket Pitch

Management Aim
• Maintain croquet lawn and cricket pitch to ensure fit for purpose during
playing season.
• To maintain grass of croquet lawn and cricket pitch;
• To control weeds in croquet lawn and cricket pitch;
• To keep croquet lawn and cricket pitch free from litter and other waste;
• To ensure croquet lawn is suitably demarcated; and
• To keep croquet lawn and cricket pitch in overall in good condition.
5.53 If weeds, pests or diseases are evident, herbicides and pesticides should only be
applied according to manufacturer’s recommendations, and by qualified personnel
holding the relevant certificate issued by the National Proficiency Test Council
(NPTC).
5.54 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 8 for the Croquet Lawn and Cricket Pitch
Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Ornamental Planting - new shrub /herbaceous planting

Management Aim
• To establish areas of new ornamental planting and to present visible
indication of high quality, regular site maintenance.
• To maintain newly planted shrubs, herbaceous and ground cover to ensure
a good survival rate and development;
• To minimise competition from grass and weeds;
• To keep planted areas free from litter and other waste.
5.55 Formative pruning will be kept to a minimum but where necessary diseased and
damaged wood will be removed. Where shrubs overhang path edges they will be
neatly clipped back in order to maintain the full width of pedestrian access routes.
5.56 Planting beds will be checked regularly throughout the growing season for pests
and diseases and treated as necessary. If a particular plant becomes subject to a
fatal pest or disease it shall be replaced by an alternative resistant plant with a
similar form and habit, if approved by the LPA.
5.57 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 9 for the Ornamental Planting Management Table.

Playground Equipment and Ball Stop Net

Management Aim
• To regularly inspect and maintain play / recreation areas and the ball stop
net to comply with current legislation and regulations.
Management Objective
• To maintain the play / recreational equipment and the ball stop net in a
safe and viable state which ensures freedom from unacceptable risk.
5.58 All play equipment, both formal and informal, and the ball stop net will be
inspected annually by a qualified independent specialist (e.g. RoSPA) to identify
any obvious hazards. All formal pieces of play equipment will undergo frequent
checks to ensure the equipment is safe and fit for purpose. The high-quality
appearance of the equipment will be maintained through maintenance inspections
with work undertaken as required.
5.59 Whilst annual inspection is not mandatory law, Section 3 of the Health and Safety
at Work Act 1974 states that a risk assessment must be carried out on all
playgrounds.
5.60 Installation, inspection maintenance and operation of play equipment and safety
surfacing must adhere to BS EN 1176 and BS 7188. Routine and operational
inspection must be carried out as per the manufacturers recommendation and
according to the risk assessment.
5.61 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 10 for the Play Equipment Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Hard Landscape - including footpaths, paved areas and street furniture

Management Aim
• To present the visible indication of high quality, regular site maintenance.
• To keep paths, paved areas, petanque pitch and tennis courts free of
debris, litter, graffiti & dog faeces;
• To keep weed colonisation at a minimum and acceptable level;
• To maintain paths, paved areas, petanque pitch and tennis courts in safe
condition;
• To maintain street furniture, incl. seating and bollards and replace if

necessary; and
• To maintain railings, fences and walls in good condition.
5.62 Hard areas and elements will be regularly checked for subsidence, damage and
wear and will be repaired / topped-up at the earliest opportunity using the
original specified material. Areas where damage poses a hazard to pedestrians
shall be cordoned off with bollards and high visibility tape until repair can be
actioned.
5.63 Painted and stained surfaces shall be checked at five yearly intervals. Where
necessary surfaces shall be prepared and repainted/stained using the same
product to maintain the integrity of the original design.
5.64 A “no tolerance” policy will apply to graffiti which shall be removed as soon as it
appears and where necessary specialist contractors shall be employed to carry
out this work.
5.65 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 11 for the Hard Landscape Management Table.

Redrow Homes
Invasive Species
Management Aim
• To eradicate invasive species.
• To control and prevent the spread of invasive species.
5.66 The control of invasive species, such as False Virginia Creeper and Cotoneasters,
within the site to ensure that they cannot be spread throughout the site or to
adjacent land.
5.67 For a list of what is classed as an invasive species refer to invasive species like
under Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1982 (as amended).
5.68 The removal of these species from the site would contribute to the national aims
and objectives of preventing, reducing and eliminating the impacts from these
species in the UK.
5.69 Refer to Appendix 3 Section 12 for the Invasive Species Management Table.

Existing Community Woodland is to be retained and maintained

NEW SCHOOL SITE through both initial and long term management. Existing circulation
routes are to be retained. Signage within the woodland is to be
reviewed. Where existing signage is deemed to be run-down,
dangerous or not suitable it is to be removed and replaced with new
signage, timber in construction, which contains relevant wildlife and
legibility information on the purpose and history of the site / wider
community woodland and the particular area the signage is located.
Any new signage must take into account other signage boards within
the woodland and ensure that the signage as a whole provides concise
and cohesive information to the woodland, without undue repetition of
information.
Long term management proposals are for the woodland to be

selectively thinned to encourage diversity, ground flora and a varied
age structure. In the year following any initial works, thinning of the
woodland will take place. Any tree works must be undertaken outside
of the bird nesting season (March to August inclusive), unless
essential for public safety where the works will be subject to checks
by an ecologist to ensure there are no nesting birds present.
Community Woodland to be managed in line with

the recommendations set out within the Barton Hyett Associates,
Woodland Management Plan (R.2114_WMP_June 2017), and the
Landscape and Ecological Management Plan R0395_14 by Pegasus
Group & Ecosulis.
Existing pond located within the woodland will be retained and

902C
enhanced to increase value to wildlife. The pond is to be managed with
de-silting (if required) as well as the removal of invasive or overgrown
planting from around the pond edge by hand, this must be undertaken
following ecologist advice on the time of year to undertake the work
(i.e. avoiding breeding/nesting seasons) and the species/quantities to
remove. Replacement planting will be undertaken in the next planting
season, with the species/ quantities as advised by the ecologist. For
pond enhancement proposals refer to dwg. R0395_16A.

ALLOTMENTS MANAGEMENT PLAN

Redrow Homes
Appendix 4 – Allotment Management plan

Management Aim
• To present the visible indication of high quality, regular site maintenance;
• To provide high quality, secure and accessible allotments which are

effectively managed and maintained.
• To keep paths and hard surfaced areas free of debris, litter, graffiti & dog
faeces;
• To keep weed colonisation at a minimum and acceptable level;
• To maintain footpaths and hard surfaced areas in safe condition;
• To maintain gates, water troughs and other allotment furniture, including

seating and signage in good condition and replace if necessary;
1.01 The maintenance of the allotments covers the communal areas and features e.g
access routes, boundary treatments, water troughs, and any untenanted plots.
1.02 The management and maintenance tasks associated with the soft landscaping
features within the allotments eg. grass will be maintained as amenity grass and
retained trees will be maintained as per the previous sections detailed within this
landscape and ecological management plan:
1.03 Areas of hard surfacing/allotment furniture where damage poses a hazard to

pedestrians shall be cordoned off with bollards and high visibility tape until repair
can be organised.
