7. Note to Applicant: This application has been flagged up as being in close proximity to a known bat roost. 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.
8. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are required. A built-in bat brick/roost box/bat tube and a swift brick in the first-floor extension would be appropriate enhancements. Further information about bat boxes can be found on the Bat Conservation Trust website https://www.bats.org.uk/our-work/buildings-planning-and-development/bat-boxes. Information about swift bricks and nest boxes can be found at https://www.swift-conservation.org/OurLeaflets.htm.

Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019), 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.
