Note to Applicant: This application has been flagged up as being in close proximity to records of bats. All bats and their roosts are protected by law in the UK. Even though the roof will not be directly affected by the extension, the noise, vibrations and dust generated during construction could affect bats sleeping during the daytime. Workers must remain vigilant of the potential presence of bats, not obstruct their roosts or do anything that could cause harm to a bat. If bats or any signs of bats are found during construction, all work must stop immediately, and Natural England must be called. The Bat Conservation Trust website ( https://www.bats.org.uk/ ) explains why bats are protected and what to do if you find a bat at https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works
The applicant is reminded that, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended (section 1), it is an offence to remove, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while that nest is in use or being built. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this Act. It is possible that birds could nest in the garage between 1st March and 31st August inclusive. If evidence of an active bird’s nest is found during construction, a 5m buffer must be erected around the nest to protect it from disturbance until after the chicks have fledged and left the nest.
In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), 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.
