5. Note to Applicant: If great crested newts are found on site, all work must stop, and an ecologist should be consulted for advice.
6. Note to Applicant: To avoid disturbance to nesting birds, vegetation clearance must be done outside of bird nesting season (late February through the end of August) or only after a check for active birds’ nests by a suitably qualified ecologist.
7. Note to Applicant: To avoid disturbance to hedgehogs, low level vegetation clearance must be done between March and November when they are not likely to be hibernating. The area should be cleared by hand to allow any animals time to escape. Piles of dead wood and brash piles can be created in other areas around the site to mitigate for the removal of suitable nesting sites. These can be created behind hedges or out of the way for smaller developments with limited space. Replacement habitat can include log piles, leaf litter, dead wood and scrub. Hedgehog houses can also be made or purchased. If hedgehogs are found, they should not be handled but be left to move away on their own to a place of shelter. If a hedgehog is found during development and/or there are welfare concerns, the British Hedgehog Preservation Society can be contacted for advice and guidance on 01584 890 801.

9. 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.
