5. Note to Applicant: It is possible that a sewer now deemed to be public could be crossing the development site. Therefore. Should any sewer be found during construction works, an investigation of the sewer will be required to ascertain its ownership before any further works commence on site.
6. 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/imworking-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works.
7. Note to Applicant Any excavations or open pipes will need to be covered at night or provided with a small mammal escape ramp to allow animals such as hedgehogs to escape if they fall in. If hedgehogs are found on site, they must be allowed to move away to safety. If any hedgehogs appear to be in distress, a hedgehog rescue worker should be contacted. Information is available on the website of the British Hedgehog Preservation society at https://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/found-a-hedgehog/.
8. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancement is required. A bat brick/box and a swift brick/nest box may be appropriate to build into the extensions. Built in boxes do not require maintenance and cannot fall off. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat brick/box at least 4m 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. (https://www.bats.org.uk › our-work › putting-up-your-box) 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.

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'.
10.
