Notes to applicant:

In reaching this decision Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has had regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and takes a positive and proactive approach to development proposals focused on solutions. TVBC work with applicants and their agents in a positive and proactive manner offering a pre-application advice service and updating applicants/agents of issues that may arise in dealing with the application and where possible suggesting solutions.

2.

It is advisable to carry out the demolition of the garage and any woody vegetation outside of the bird nesting season, which is generally seen as extending from March to the end of August, although may extend longer depending on local conditions. If there is absolutely no alternative to doing the work in during this period then a thorough, careful and quiet examination of the garage and vegetation within 5m of the works must be carried out before work starts. If occupied nests are present then work must stop, and building work recommence once the nest becomes unoccupied of its own accord.

3.

The applicants are restricted that the accommodation hereby approved is annex accommodation, ancillary to the existing dwelling. Use of this accommodation as a separate dwelling would require an additional grant of planning permission.
