Notes:

1.  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.  The proposed development would be in close proximity to and involve the removal of hedgerow that may support nesting birds. Nesting Birds are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is illegal to intentionally or recklessly kill, injure or take any wild bird; to take, damage or destroy any nest while it is in use or being built or to take or destroy a wild bird's egg. It is highly advisable to carry out the hedge removal/building works within 5 metres of any hedgerow outside of the bird nesting season, which is generally considered 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 during this period then a thorough, careful and quiet examination of the vegetation within 5 metres 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.  Trees adjacent to the access to the site from the A3057 Romsey Road are protected by virtue of their location in the conservation area or by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). It is advised that any tree works required to allow access to bring the building onto the site would need to form part of tree works application and/or notice which would need to be submitted to the Local Planning Authority. Such applications can take up to 6-8 weeks to be considered.
