Decision & conditions

Prior Approval Granted
PN_26_100792 PL_Final Decision
Planning conditions
  1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: A101, A108 rev B, A109, A110, A111, A112, A113, A114. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
  2. Prior to first occupation of the development, the glazing and ventilation scheme shall be installed in full accordance with the recommendations and specifications set out in the approved Noise Impact Assessment (24Acoustics reference R10835-2 Rev 0 dated 20th February 2026). The approved measures shall be permanently retained and maintained thereafter. Reason: In the interest of residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers and future occupants.
  3. Prior to the first occupation of the dwellings hereby permitted, the parking spaces shown on the approved plans (Plan Number 108 rev B) shall be allocated and designated to the respective units within the building. These spaces shall thereafter be permanently retained for the parking of vehicles and for no other purpose. Reason: For highway safety of the surrounding area.
  4. Note to Applicant: Development under Class MA is permitted subject to the condition that it must be completed within a period of 3 years starting with the prior approval date.

  7. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), 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.
