1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 524_03 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 the 'Materials' section of the application form. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
4. 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 informed. 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
5. Note to Applicant: In order to minimise the development's impact upon species and their habitats the following is recommended: 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 chemicals and fuels must be stored carefully and away from potential wildlife habitat. Any animals found on site should not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own.Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season (which is usually between the beginning of March and the end of August). If this is not possible then vegetation can be cleared only after being checked for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist up to 24 hours before the start of works. If any active nests are found, work must stop, and a 5 m buffer must be erected around the nest to protect it from disturbance until after the birds have fledged and left the nest.
6. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are required in accordance with Local Plan policy DM11 and NPPF paragraphs 187d and 192b, and are recommended in the form of a bat box, a swift nest box on the existing building, and/or a wildlife pond. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat 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. Swift nest boxes are best positioned under the eaves or on walls facing north, north-east 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. Although not routinely recommended as an enhancement, due to the maintenance requirements of a pond and safety issues for young children, if these are not an issue, then a wildlife pond in the rear garden would be another appropriate biodiversity enhancement for this property.
7. Note to Applicant: 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.
