The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

5. Note to Applicant: Precautionary working methods to protect hedgehogs and nesting birds shall be followed during construction of the proposal hereby approved. This shall include: All building materials to be stored on hard standing or on pallets, as far as possible from hedgerows, scrub or potential habitat; any excavations shall be covered at night or be fitted with a small animal escape ramp; No fires shall be lit on site; Waste shall be stored in a skip and not be allowed to accumulate in piles which could be used by wildlife; Any animals found on site shall not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own; Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season (which is 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.
6. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are required in accordance with Local Plan policy DM 11 and NPPF paragraphs 187d and 192 b, and are recommended in the form of a bat brick/box and swift nest 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 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.
7. 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.
