Decision & conditions
F_25_100572 PL_Final DecisionPlanning conditions
- The development hereby permitted shall start no later than three years from the date of this decision. Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
- The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: Location Plan, Block Plan, DP-003, DP-004. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- The materials to be used must match as closely as possible, in type, colour and texture those listed in the Materials Section of the application form and drawing number DP-003. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
- Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are required in accordance with Local Plan policy DM11 and NPPF paragraphs 187d and 192b, and are recommended in the form of a bat box or a swift nest box on the existing building. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat brick/box at least 4 m above the ground, away from artificial light sources, sheltered from strong winds and exposed to the sun for part of the day, facing south, south-east or south-west. Swift nest boxes are best positioned under the eaves or on walls facing north, northeast or north-west out of direct sunlight, five metres above the ground, with clear adjacent airspace so swifts can access them in a high-speed direct flight.
- 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.
