Conversion of Garage to Storage and Games Room - Retrospective.

1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: Rev A-S1, Rev A-S2, Rev A-S3, Rev A-S4. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
2. 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 or a swift nest box on the existing building. 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. Ponds are not routinely in our enhancements list due to the maintenance requirements of a pond and safety issues for young children, but if these are not an issue, then a wildlife pond is very appropriate in this area.
3. 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.
