How they reason — coded from their reports

Kinli's caseload is dominated by rear extensions and roof terraces, and she states the precise rear garden depth in metres in nearly every report as the anchor fact for the 45-degree test, rather than a bare pass/fail. Where the garden depth causes a technical infringement, she is comfortable finding the extension acceptable where the EXISTING back addition already infringes the same line and the additional breach is 'somewhat minor', explicitly comparing the new extent of breach to the existing baseline. On roof terraces she runs a consistent size/screening trade-off, stating the exact terrace area against the 15sqm SPD threshold and the specific privacy screen height, and treats terraces under that threshold with an obscure-glazed screen as compliant even where the depth exceeds 50% of the back addition.

Observable habits

· states the precise rear garden depth in metres in nearly every report as the anchor fact underpinning the 45-degree angle assessment, rather than a bare compliant/non-compliant statement

· where the existing back addition already infringes the 45-degree line, compares the additional extent of a new breach against that existing baseline, describing genuinely marginal additions as 'somewhat minor'

· runs a consistent terrace area (sqm) vs 15sqm SPD threshold and privacy screen height trade-off, treating a terrace under the threshold with an obscure-glazed screen as acceptable even where its depth exceeds 50% of the back addition

What their reports consistently look for

· the precise rear garden depth in metres, stated explicitly for nearly every application, as the basis for the 45-degree line assessment

· whether the EXISTING back addition already infringes the 45-degree line, and whether a new proposal's breach is a minor addition to that existing baseline

· the exact roof terrace area in square metres against the 15sqm threshold, combined with the specified privacy screen height

In their own words

as the existing back addition already infringes this line and the somewhat minor extent of the breach, it is not considered that the proposal would result in a detrimental impact on neighbouring properties at the rear with regards to residential amenity when compared to the existing situation

2023/00417/FUL

the proposed terrace is under 15sqm (8.15 sqm), as specified within the Supplementary Planning Document (2018) and given its location at a high level and the introduction of a 1.7 m high privacy screen, Officers consider that the proposed terrace will not result in unacceptable levels of noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers
