5. No additional or altered windows shall be constructed in the northwest elevation of the development hereby approved. Reason: To protect the amenity and privacy of the adjoining residential properties.
6. The development must accord with the arboricultural report reference JFA0316. No excavation, demolition or development related works shall commence until the tree protection measures have been installed as per the tree protection plan contained within the report. Once installed, no access by vehicles or placement of goods, chemicals, fuels, soil or other materials shall take place within the protected area. Tree protection measures shall be retained in their approved form for the duration of the work and may only be modified subject to written agreement from the LPA. Reason: To retain and protect the existing trees which form an important part of the amenity of the locality.
7. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the recommendations outlined in the submitted Phase II Bat Surveys & Mitigation Strategy by ecosupport (2023) or the most recent accepted ecological report. This includes a bat brick and a swift brick, and night scented flowering plants attract moths as food for bats. A hedgehog habitat area and night scented flowering plants could also be included in the garden. Reason: To protect and enhance biodiversity.
8. 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.
9. Note to Applicant: To avoid disturbance of nesting birds or damage to their nests, any works impacting the hedgerows or trees on site will be undertaken outside of the bird-nesting season (typically March – September, dependent on weather). If this is not possible, the buildings should be thoroughly checked by an ecologist immediately prior to demolition. If any active nests are found, they should be left undisturbed with a 5m buffer erected (barrier tape or similar) and monitored until the chicks have fledged and left the nest.
10. Note to Applicant: Wildlife sensitive lighting, as described in the reports, should be used if any exterior lighting is required for safety reason.
11. Note to Applicant: Please be aware that the property is already built over an existing public foul sewer. If the works to be carried out will alter the existing foundation line or depth of the sewer it will be necessary for the applicant to contact Southern Water.
12. 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'.
13. 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.
