1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 4358-P-01 Rev B Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
2. 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.
3. The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted shall match in type, colour and texture those used on the existing building or otherwise be in accordance with those in the Application Form. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship between the new development and the existing.
4. 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 called. Additional information is available on the Bat Conservation Trust website at https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works.
5. Note to Applicant: During construction any excavations or open pipes must be covered at night or fitted with a small mammal escape ramp (a rough board slanted at a shallow angle) to prevent hedgehogs from becoming trapped. Materials must be stored on hardstanding or pallets off the ground to prevent hedgehogs from sheltering within them. Piles of materials, dead wood and dense vegetation should be checked for hedgehogs before moving. These areas should be cleared by hand, not using a digger, to allow animals time to escape 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.

6. Note to Applicant: Removal of potential habitat must not take place from November through March when animals may be hibernating. No fires can be lit on site. The British Hedgehog Society recommends that Areas should be cleared on rotation with scrubby patches left to provide nesting habitat and cover. If this is not possible, 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. https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/help-hedgehogs/hedgehog-homes/
7. Note to Applicant: It is recommended to install a bat brick and a swift brick for this 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. (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. (https://www.swiftconservation.org/Nestboxes%26Attraction.htm )
8. Note to Applicant: It is requested that the building works are carried out considerately to minimise disruption to the occupiers of the neighbouring properties. 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'.
9. Note to Applicant: 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.
