How they reason — coded from their reports

Putrina's listed-building casework quotes the specific Local Plan heritage policy text (LP3's requirement to 'retain, repair and reinstate historic features in a historically correct manner') at length before applying it, and repeats the same detailed policy-quote template closely across similar listed-building cases on comparable properties.

Observable habits

· quotes the LP3/HC1 heritage policy text at length, including its specific sub-clauses on retaining/repairing/reinstating historic fabric, before applying it

· reuses a consistent detailed policy-citation template across similar listed-building cases rather than varying the framing case by case

· explicitly separates 'design and appearance' assessment from the underlying 'principle of extending' question for listed-building schemes

What their reports consistently look for

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the specific sub-clauses of LP3/HC1 heritage policy (retain, repair, reinstate in a historically correct manner) quoted and applied directly

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: a clearly separated 'principle of development' question distinct from the detailed design assessment that follows

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: whether a listed building's roof structures of architectural or historic interest are specifically addressed, not folded into general design commentary

2021/0028

Policy LP3 goes on to say that all proposals for Listed Buildings hould: Seek to conserve and enhance significance by retaining, repairing and (where appropriate) reinstating istoric features and fabric in a historically correct manner; and Respect the historic plan form and hierarchies of space; and Retain roof structures of architectural or historic
