Single storey front extension to provide garage and entrance porch.

1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 513_03_A 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. The development must accord with the arboricultural report reference 5 Nichol Road AMS February 2025 v1. No excavation, demolition or development related works shall commence until the tree protection measures have been installed as per the tree protection plan contained within the report. Once installed, no access by vehicles or placement of goods, chemicals, fuels, soil or other materials shall take place within the protected area. Tree protection measures shall be retained in their approved form for the duration of the work and may only be modified subject to written agreement from the LPA. Reason: To retain and protect the existing trees which form an important part of the amenity of the locality.
5. Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season (between the beginning of March and the end of August) or if this is not possible then 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.
6. 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. 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 southwest. 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. Note to Applicant: In removing hanging tiles to accommodate the proposed development, they must be removed by hand, and if there are any signs of bats, the tile should be replaced without disturbing the bats. Bats must not be touched by anyone without a bat license.
8. 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.
