The ODA have produced a document 'Towards a 10 year management plan' which sets out how the site can be managed, including the ecological elements of the Park. The OPLC will be looking to procure an estates and facilities management contractor in late 2010. We are informed that this contract will include the management of the park, including the landscape and thus the biodiversity of the site. However, as this is still in development it is not currently possible to verify this. The level of resources available for the long term habitat management will be critical to ensuring that the BAP habitats are able to mature and achieve the appropriate SINC status. Work will be required in transformation to change habitats from Games-time habitats and concourse to legacy habitats that will meet the requirements of the BAP. Closed (recommendations from the Biodiversity review take precedence)
