Soil Management Plan
A Soil Management Plan (SMP) is required to plan the sustainable handling of soils during development, particularly on larger sites and those on greenfield land. Its purpose is to protect the quality and structure of the soil resource by guiding how soils are stripped, stored, transported and reused throughout the construction process and post-development.
Soil is an essential natural capital asset that underpins a wide range of ecosystem services, developed over thousands of years, making it an irreplaceable resource. Its careful management is not only crucial for maintaining it's original functions, but also for preventing degradation that could impact the development project, surrounding land and limit future agricultural potential. Consideration of soil management and after-use on development sites is therefore vital to protect both the soil itself and the long-term benefits it provides to the environment and society.
