Two storey side extension and single storey side extension

1. The proposal involves development in close proximity to a detached garage with wooden cladding that has the potential to support roosting bats. A Preliminary Roost Assessment has been requested but has not been provided. In the absence of this information, it is not possible to confirm that the proposed development would avoid harm to protected species, which is a material planning consideration. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DM11 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016–2036), the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, and Paragraph 180 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
2. Note to Applicant: The application was refused following the assessment of the following plan: 387_1 Rev 3, 387_2 Rev 3, 387_3 Rev 3 and 387_4 Rev 2. In accordance with paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), 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.
