6. Note to Applicant: A precautionary working method is advised. The precautionary working method should include all building materials to be stored on hard standing or on pallets, as far as possible from hedgerows, scrub or potential habitat. Any excavations must be covered at night or be fitted with a small animal escape ramp, and no fires can be lit on site. Waste must be stored in a skip and not be allowed to accumulate in piles which could be used by wildlife. Any animals found on site should not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own.
7. 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.
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'.
