How they reason — coded from their reports

Jin's Certificate-of-Existing-Use reports show a distinctly sceptical, evidence-auditing style: he lists exactly which categories of corroborating evidence are absent (council tax records, utility bills, electoral roll) even when tenancy agreements are present, and cross-references submitted evidence against independent sources like Google Street View to spot contradictions rather than accepting the applicant's timeline at face value. His design assessments name the specific policy requirement (e.g. D3's "appropriate outlook, privacy and amenity") before applying it to the named neighbouring address.

Observable habits

· in evidence-of-use certificates, explicitly lists the categories of corroborating evidence that are MISSING even where some documents were submitted, rather than assessing only what was provided

· cross-checks the applicant's own evidence (invoices, tenancy dates) against independent sources like Google Street View historical imagery to identify contradictions

· names the specific London Plan policy clause and its wording (e.g. "appropriate outlook, privacy and amenity") immediately before applying it to a named neighbouring property

What their reports consistently look for

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: an explicit list of which standard evidence categories (council tax, utility bills, electoral roll) are ABSENT from a Certificate of Lawfulness submission, not just what was provided

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: independent corroboration (e.g. Google Street View date-stamped imagery) for any claimed continuous use period, flagging discrepancies with submitted documents

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the specific wording of the cited London Plan design policy applied directly to the named neighbouring property at issue
