5. Note to Applicant: You are reminded of your duties under the Party Wall Act 1996. This requires a building owner to notify and obtain formal agreement from adjoining occupier where the building owner intends to carry out work which involves: 1. Work involving an existing shared wall with another property; 2. Building on the boundary with a neighbouring property; 3. Excavating near a neighbouring building, and that work falls within the scope of the Act. Procedures under this Act are separate from the need for planning permission and building regulations approval. ‘The Party Wall etc. Act 1996: explanatory booklet’ is available at www.communities.gov.uk.
6. Note to applicant: An investigation of the sewer is required to confirm its size and depth, ascertain its condition, number of properties served and potential means of access before any decision can be made as to whether it would be acceptable for the proposed development to be built close to the sewer. If the sewer in question is found to be no greater than 225mm in diameter and no deeper than 3 meters, the development may be allowed, subject to the following conditions: 1. No construction works parallel to the sewer within 500mm (in plan). 2. Where within three metres, foundations depth to be taken down 150mm below the invert level of the sewer. The works will be subject to approval under the 'Declaration of Works' self-certification process. It appears that the developer is intending to build close to a public foul sewer which is crossing the site. Building over a “public sewer” is not normally permitted by Southern Water. However, under certain circumstances building over a minor sewer may be allowed. The conditions and application associated with the build-over/close-to a public sewer are available at Southern Water's Get Connected service: https://developerservices.southernwater.co.uk.
7. Note to applicant: In order to protect drainage apparatus, prior to the commencement of development, the developer must advise Southern Water of measures which will be undertaken to protect the public sewers.
8. Note to applicant: In order to protect and safeguard the existing water supply apparatus, Southern Water requests formal notification of any proposed demolition works prior to such works being undertaken.
9. 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[1]working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works.
10. Note to applicant: A precautionary working method must be used to prevent harm to wildlife that could be using this site. It should 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 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 chemicals and fuels must be stored carefully and away from potential wildlife habitat. Any animals found on site should not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own. Hedgehog holes (13 x 13 cm minimum) must be included in the baseboards of any closed board fences to allow the free passage of small mammals through the garden.
11. Note to applicant: Biodiversity enhancements will be required in accord with Local Plan policy DM 11 and NPPF (December 2024) paragraphs 187d and 192 b. A bat box and a swift nest box may be appropriate for this building. 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. (https://www.bats.org.uk › our-work › putting-up-your-box) 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.
