9. Note to Applicant: To safeguard wildlife, the development must proceed in accordance with the following precautionary working method: • All building materials to be stored on hard standing or on pallets, as far as possible from hedgerows, scrub or potential habitat. • Any excavations must be covered at night or be fitted with a small animal escape ramp. • No fires can be lit on site. • Waste must be stored in a skip and not be allowed to accumulate in piles which could be used by wildlife. Any chemicals and fuels must be stored carefully and away from potential wildlife habitat. • Any animals found on site should not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own.
10. Note to Applicant: The applicant is advised to implement the ecological enhancement measures recommended in Section 4.5 of the Ecological Impact Assessment (4Woods Ecology, November 2025), including: • Installation of a bird box on the mature tree within the rear garden; • Supplementing existing garden planting with ten plant species beneficial to pollinating insects; • Provision of a sedum roof on part of the rear flat roof of the dwelling.
11. Note to Applicant: In the unlikely event of any bats being found during demolition or construction, all work must stop immediately, and Natural England must be informed. Additional information is available on the Bat Conservation Trust website at https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works.
12. Note to Applicant: The lighting recommendations in section 4.4.3 of the Ecological Impact Assessment (4Woods Ecology, November 2025) must be followed to minimise impacts on bats and other wildlife.
13. Note to Applicant: Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season (which is usually between the beginning of March and the end of August). If this is not possible then vegetation can be cleared only after being checked for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist up to 24 hours before the start of works. If any active nests are found, work must stop, and a 5 m buffer must be erected around the nest to protect it from disturbance until after the birds have fledged and left the nest.
14. Note to Applicant: This permission does not remove the need to comply with the requirements of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
15. 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'.
16. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), 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.
