How they reason — coded from their reports

Tailor's reports use a distinctive bullet-point checklist against SPD2 (Depth / Roof / Width / Building Features / Use, each marked compliant or not) for householder extensions, and work through the GPDO's numbered questions clause-by-clause for Certificate of Lawfulness cases rather than summarising the outcome. Conservation-area refusals cite the specific Character Appraisal or Design Guide wording (e.g. exact adjectives used to describe the property) before applying it to the proposal.

Observable habits

· sets out extension compliance as a labelled bullet checklist (Depth/Roof/Width/Building Features/Use) rather than a single narrative paragraph

· answers each numbered GPDO sub-question on Certificate of Lawfulness applications individually, including the "N/A" ones, rather than only stating the final verdict

· quotes the exact Conservation Area Character Appraisal description of a host property before assessing a proposal against it

What their reports consistently look for

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: a labelled bullet-by-bullet SPD2 compliance check (Depth, Roof, Width, Building Features, Use) rather than a blended narrative verdict

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the exact wording of the relevant Conservation Area Character Appraisal before judging a proposal's design

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: whether a resubmission has specifically addressed the stated reasons for a previous refusal on the same site

In their own words

The extension complies with SPD2 in the following ways: � Depth: Has a rear depth of 6m. There is already a 6m rear extension present at No. 53 Burnside Crescent, which is within the maximum permitted depth stated in SPD2. � Width: Has a total width of 5.9m.
