5. The development must accord with the arboricultural report reference 10750. No excavation, demolition or development related works shall commence until the tree protection measures have been installed as per the tree protection plan reference 10750- D-AIA. 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.

6. No construction or demolition work shall start until a Method Statement has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. Demolition and construction work shall only take place in accordance with the approved method statement which shall include: (a) Details of how building materials, fuels and chemicals will be stored and controlled on-site to avoid pollution and siltation, for example, there will be designated areas on site for storage of construction materials and for refuelling of equipment/machinery, all plant will be fitted with drip trays in order to avoid potential pollution incidents, and spill kits will be made available on site at all times. (b) Details on the proposed construction methodology including factors such as construction access, methods of construction, timing of the works and working hours. The construction works for this development will be largely restricted to daytime hours. (c) Industry standard measures to minimise dust, siltation, and soil erosion. (d) Measures to limit construction noise and vibration. (e) Safeguarding of wild fauna such as badger by fencing off construction areas with Heras fencing and ensuring that any construction pits are covered overnight, or an escape ramp is provided. Any piping should be capped over-night to prevent animals becoming trapped. (f) Site induction for workers. This should include reference to the importance of Goulds Copse SINC to local wildlife, with comment to no littering within the SINC, and the use of the proper welfare facilities which will be on the construction site. (g) Details of protective boundary treatments around the site. (h) Temporary lighting during the construction phase. Reason: To limit the impact the development has on the amenity of the locality and surrounding designated countryside and local gap.
7. 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
8. Note to Applicant: A check for nesting birds must be made in the hedgerow, existing shrubs and existing trees (T001, H002, T004, T003, T002, and A001 before the start of demolition. If evidence of an active bird’s nest is found, either in the garage or in any vegetation within 10 m of the proposed building, all work must stop and a 5m buffer must be erected around the nest to protect it from disturbance until after the chicks have fledged and left the nest.
9. Note to Applicant: Replacements for trees T001 and and T004 will be required. Flowering native species which attract pollinating insects would be beneficial as replacement trees.
10. Note to Applicant: New exterior lighting should be avoided, but if necessary for security purposes, then the latest updated lighting guidance note (GN08/23) should be followed. This is available at Guidance Note 8 Bats and Artificial Lighting | Institution of Lighting Professionals (theilp.org.uk).
11. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements have been recommended. Built in bat and swift nest bricks/boxes are preferred. Swift boxes can be used by other species if swifts are not using them. Bee bricks, log and brushwood piles and planting native species which produce fruit and seeds for pollinators are also recommended.
12. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 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.
