6. Biodiversity enhancements shall be installed on site prior to first use of the development hereby approved in the form of a bat box and a bird box and thereafter retained. 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. Reason: To ensure a biodiversity enhancement in accordance with policy DM11 of the Eastleigh Local Plan (2016-2036)
7. Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season or within 24 hours of being checked for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist. Any active nests must be protected by a 5m buffer to protect it from disturbance until after the birds have fledged and left the nest. Areas of dense vegetation below 30cm from ground level, and areas within long grass, dead leaves or piles of dead wood should be cleared by hand, not using a digger. Reason: To ensure the protection of nesting birds and hedgehogs.
8. Note to Applicant: Precautionary working methods shall be followed to ensure the protection of great crested newts, nesting birds and hedgehogs during construction and the proposed hedge removal. These methods shall include the following: - All construction operatives must be briefed on how to identify great crested newts in all phases of development and what to do if a great crested newt is found on site. Should great crested newts be found at any stage of the development works, then all works should cease, and a professional and/or suitably qualified and experienced ecologist (or Natural England) should be contacted for advice on any special precautions before continuing, including the need for a licence. - If hedgehogs are using the site they would be sheltering under dense vegetation or within long grass, dead leaves or piles of dead wood. Removal of potential habitat must not take place from November through to March, when animals may be hibernating. If a hedgehog is found during development and/or there are welfare concerns, the British Hedgehog Preservation Society can be contacted for advice and guidance on 01584 890 801. - 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. - 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. - Any exterior lighting required for security or safety purposes must not be allowed to shine on the retained hedges.
9. Note to Applicant: The applicant is reminded that, under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to (amongst other things): deliberately capture, disturb, injure, or kill great crested newts; damage or destroy a breeding or resting place; intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a resting or sheltering place. Planning permission for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this legislation. Nesting birds and their young are protected under the same legislation.
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 https://theilp.org.uk/publication/guidance-note-8-bats-and-artificial-lighting/

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.
