In the event that previously unidentified contamination is found during the watching brief it must be immediately reported to the Local Planning Authority. Work shall then cease until an investigation and risk assessment, and where required a remediation scheme, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

10. Note to Applicant: A common pipistrelle bat emerged from under a roof slate on the second survey so a third survey was needed to inform a bat license application. The bat license can only be applied for after planning permission has been granted. If work has not started before the end of September 2025 an update walkover survey will be required prior to development.
11. Note to Applicant: The site is within an area of maximum radon potential of 3-5%. Further consideration needs to be given to the radon risk. As general advice, all developers should: Consult the Radon UK map (UKradon - UK maps of radon) - if they're in an area above 1%, developers should buy the UK Health Agency Radon report (for approximately £4.00) and check their development. Details on the findings on radon risk should be submitted to the LPA. If this gives an answer that is greater than 1%, they should consider Radon protection for new developments. If the answer is greater than 3% then Radon protection will be needed according to Building Regulations, with basic protection required at 3-10% and full protection above 10%.
12. Note to Applicant: It is requested that the building works are carried out considerately to minimise disruption to the occupiers of the neighbouring properties. The council operates a code of best practice, which is available on the council's website www.eastleigh.gov.uk by following the links to Planning and Building, Building Control, then select 'Considerate Builders Advice Note'.
13. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), Eastleigh Borough Council takes a positive approach to the handling of development proposals so as to achieve, whenever possible, a positive outcome and to ensure all proposals are dealt with in a timely manner.
