Decision & conditions
H_26_101025 PL_Final DecisionPlanning conditions
- 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 development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 542_04 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- The materials to be used must match as closely as possible, in type, colour and texture to those listed in the materials section of the application form. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
- Note to applicant: 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. Although unlikely, if any great crested newts are found all work must stop and Natural England must be called to determine whether a license will be required. Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season (which is usually 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.
- 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.
