Single storey rear extensions following the demolition of the existing conservatory and replacement of existing detached garage with annexe

1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: Location Plan, 001 Rev A and 101 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 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.
4. The annexe hereby permitted shall only be used in conjunction with the existing dwelling or by a dependent relative of the occupiers of the existing dwelling and shall not be sold off, occupied or used as an independent unit of accommodation. Reason: The property is not suitable for sub-division into two separate dwellings.
5. Note to Applicant: A biodiversity enhancement is required. This can be in the form of a bat box/brick. 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. In the 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. 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). If this is not possible then vegetation can be cleared 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. The area around the garage must be cleared by hand. In the unlikely event that slow worms or hedgehogs are on site any animals found must not be handled and be allowed to move away to an area of safety on their own. 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.
6. 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.
