Single storey rear extension to replace existing conservatory and erection of 2.6m high timber fence along part of the southwestern boundary

1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 01 A 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 must match as closely as possible, in type, colour and texture those listed in Materials Section of the application form. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
4. No vehicles (including builder’s and contractor’s) machinery, equipment, materials, spoil, scaffolding, or anything else associated with the works, use, or occupation of the development, shall be left on or near to a Public Right of Way as to cause obstruction, hindrance, or a hazard to the legitimate users. The public retain the right to use the public right of way at all times. Reason: To protect the Public Right of Way
5. Note to Applicant: As a precautionary measure during the works, any excavations or pipework, which are to remain open overnight, should be fenced or covered to prevent potential access to these areas by small mammals or birds which could cause entrapment or injury, with a suitable small animal escape ramp in the unlikely event of entrapment.
6. Note to Applicant: The new fencing must have at least two openings (13 x 13 cm minimum) to allow free passage of small animals such as hedgehogs through the garden.
7. Note to Applicant: If any vegetation clearance is required it must either be done outside the nesting bird season (which is considered to be March through August), or only after a check for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist.
8. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements have been recommended. 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.

9. Note to Applicant: Nothing connected with the development, or its future use, shall have an adverse effect on the Public Rights of Way, which must always remain available for safe public use at all times. Granting of planning permission does not grant the applicant access rights to the site via the PROW network and separate consent is required. There must be no surface alterations to a Public Right of Way without the consent of Hampshire County Council as Highway Authority. Planning permission under the Town and County Planning Act (1990) does not provide this and separate consent is required. To carry out any such works without this permission would constitute an offence under Section 131 of the Highways Act (1980).
10. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (September 2023), 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.
