- The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: Location Plan, Site Plan, PG.1136 · 25 · 01, PG.1136 · 25 · 02 Rev A, PG.1136 · 25 · 03 Rev C and PG.1136 · 25 · 04 Rev C. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- 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.
- The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted shall match in type, colour and texture those used on the existing building. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship between the new development and the existing.
- Note to Applicant: The applicant is encouraged to incorporate biodiversity enhancements as part of the development in accordance with Policy DM11 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan. This may include the installation of a bat brick/box and a swift nest box integrated within the building, together with the planting of flowering plants and shrubs within the garden to provide resources for pollinators and seeds and fruits for birds. Where installed, features should be positioned in accordance with best practice guidance.
- 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.
- Note to Applicant: It is requested that the building works are carried out considerately to minimise disruption to the occupiers of the neighbouring properties. The council operates a code of best practice, which is available on the council's website www.eastleigh.gov.uk by following the links to Planning and Building, Building Control, then select 'Considerate Builders Advice Note'.
- 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.
