Where Biodiversity Net Gain applies, an HMMP is required to legally secure how habitats will be managed and monitored for 30 years after development. In Tamworth, you will need an HMMP if your planning permission includes a biodiversity condition that requires long-term habitat creation or enhancement.
Planning officers in Tamworth most frequently request a formal Habitat Management & Monitoring Plan (HMMP) when development influences or provides:
Housing growth and regeneration zones in Glascote, Amington, Stonydelph, Wilnecote and Belgrave
Employment and logistics land around Ventura Park, Lichfield Road Industrial Estate and the A5 corridor
Greenfield or settlement-edge proposals near Two Gates, Dosthill, Hockley and Fazeley
River corridors, wetland features and sensitive habitats linked to the River Tame, Kettle Brook and Tamworth’s washlands
Where long-term ecological stewardship is required, Tamworth Borough Council will not discharge BNG conditions without a compliant HMMP. Missing or incomplete evidence can prevent BNG delivery from being secured and often leads to planning delays.
We provide Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan services across Tamworth, including Amington, Glascote, Wilnecote, Stonydelph, Dosthill, Two Gates, and surrounding rural and semi-rural areas within the borough.
Planning authorities across Tamworth require Habitat Management & Monitoring Plans to secure the 30-year upkeep of habitats delivered through Biodiversity Net Gain, in line with the Environment Act 2021. An HMMP sets out the legally binding framework for long-term management, monitoring and ecological reporting. Without an approved HMMP, the development’s biodiversity commitments cannot be legally secured.
