Osinuga's caseload mixes dropped-kerb/vehicular-access applications, LDCPs and householder extensions, and on design/character assessments she is distinctive for engaging with EACH individual element of a multi-part scheme separately by name (dormer window, garage conversion, roof light, solar panels, outbuilding) as its own sub-heading with its own acceptability finding, rather than a single combined design verdict. On dormer windows specifically she gives precise set-in/set-down measurements from the ridge and eaves (e.g. '0.3m from the main ridge height') to demonstrate 'subservience' as a quantified test rather than a subjective impression. She treats dropped-kerb/vehicular-access applications as straightforwardly acceptable in principle once the Highway Authority has confirmed no objection, spending little further analysis on design or amenity for these minor schemes.
· on multi-part householder schemes, assesses EACH individual element (dormer, garage conversion, roof light, solar panels, outbuilding) under its own named sub-heading with its own acceptability finding, rather than one combined design verdict
· quantifies dormer 'subservience' via precise set-in/set-down measurements from the ridge and eaves line (to the nearest 0.1m) rather than a subjective visual impression
· treats dropped-kerb/vehicular-access applications as low-friction once the Highway Authority has confirmed no objection, applying minimal further design/amenity scrutiny
· for multi-element schemes, whether EACH individual element (not just the overall massing) is separately acceptable in design and amenity terms
· the precise set-in/set-down distance (in metres) of a dormer window from the roof ridge and eaves, as the quantified proxy for subservience
· whether the Highway Authority has confirmed no objection to a dropped-kerb/vehicular-access proposal, as the primary determinant of acceptability
“The dormer would be set up from the eaves and set down from the ridge, and the main roof would still remain legible to ensure subservience. The new dormer window would be 0.3m from the main ridge height”

“The submitted details have been reviewed by the Local Highways Authority, who deem the extension to the existing dropped kerb to be acceptable”
