Habitat management and monitoring plan HMMP
A habitat management and monitoring plan (HMMP) is a detailed plan that outlines how a parcel of land will be managed over at least 30 years to create and enhance habitats for biodiversity net gain (BNG) as well as to manage and monitor the BNG.
The government encourages use of a HMMP to capture management and monitoring information for significant on-site enhancements and off-site gains. Planning authorities are also encouraged to set any specific and proportionate monitoring requirements as part of planning conditions and obligations used to secure off-site or significant on-site habitat enhancements.
Natural England have published a template to help structure management and monitoring plans to demonstrate how habitat creation, enhancement, management and monitoring will be undertaken. The template tool can be used for projects of all sizes and for both on-site and off-site units, specified by any development project, consenting body or landowner to provide the management and monitoring information for the project or site in a standardised and consistent format.
It includes the Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan template, a companion document which contains templates for each broad habitat type used in the statutory biodiversity metric, assisting with the environmental information, creation, enhancement, management and monitoring parts.
