6. 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.

7. 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 main building, as well as planting for pollinators in the rear and/or front garden. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat brick/box at least 4 m 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, 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. Further information regarding planting for pollinators is available at: https://www.rhs.org.uk/science/conservation-biodiversity/wildlife/plants-for-pollinators
8. 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.
