OPM Management Plan Criteria

Prior to submission review your plan against the criteria using the check list below.

#	OPM Management Plan Criteria	Minimum Approval Requirements
1	Plan Objectives: OPM management plans should state the objectives of management and set out how an appropriate balance between social, economic, and environmental objectives will be achieved.	Management plan objectives are stated. Consideration is given to environmental, economic and social objectives if relevant to the vision for the woodland.
2	OPM context and important features in management strategy: OPM management plans should address the context of the pest particularly in relation to the plan objectives (e.g. where there is high footfall)	Management intentions communicated in Sect. 6 of the management plan are in line with stated objective(s) Sect. 2.
3	Identification of designations within and surrounding the site: For designated areas, e.g. National Parks or SSSI, particular account should be taken of landscape and other sensitivities in the design of forests and forest infrastructure.	Relevant designations have been considered, taking account of tree, public and animal health along with biodiversity.
4	Management of OPM Lay out the procedures for monitoring, managing and communicating OPM	The plan follows the OPM online manual. Ideally there will be three sections: i) survey, ii) control iii) communications
5	Consultation: Consultation on OPM management plans and proposals should be carried out, where required (e.g. SSSI's).	Evidence that consideration of neighbours and authorities for designated areas has been shown.
6	Plan Update and Review: Plans will be reviewed and updated when mutually needed	On an annual basis in September of each year information from surveillance and management has been presented in a suitable format as agreed with the FC
