1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 001_01, 001_P02, 001_P03, 001_P04 and 001_P05. 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 Schedule' dated 28th March 2025 and the 'Materials' section of the application form. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
4. Biodiversity enhancements shall be installed prior to first use of the development hereby approved in the form of a bat brick/box and a swift brick/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)
5. Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season or, if this is not possible, 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. Reason: To ensure the protection of nesting birds.
