c. Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence management;
d. Appropriate management options for achieving aims and objectives;
e. A maintenance schedule for the first 5-year establishment period, and an annual work plan for on-going management capable of being rolled forward for a minimum of 30 years thereafter;
f. Details (type and location) of any wildlife boxes and hibernacula
g. Details of the body or organisation responsible for implementation of the plan;
