How they reason — coded from their reports

Osinuga's caseload is dominated by window replacements, small terraces and rear extensions, and she is distinctive for citing the site's OWN prior planning history (a previously permitted roof terrace or roof extension under its own reference) as establishing the principle for a current related application, rather than relying only on neighbouring precedent. On marginal 45-degree infringements from roof extensions above an existing two-storey outrigger that already breaches the angle, she consistently notes that the new element 'would not project significantly above the height of the rear boundary treatment', treating limited additional height as the operative mitigating fact.

Observable habits

· cites the application site's OWN prior planning permission (e.g. an already-permitted roof terrace or roof extension under its own reference) as establishing the principle for a current, related application at the same address

· on marginal 45-degree infringements above an existing two-storey outrigger that already breaches the angle, focuses on whether the NEW element projects significantly above the height of the rear boundary treatment as the operative mitigating fact

· runs a consistent terrace-noise assessment stating the precise terrace area against the 15sqm threshold combined with its high-level location as sufficient to find noise/disturbance negligible

What their reports consistently look for

· whether the application site itself already benefits from a relevant prior permission (e.g. a roof terrace or extension under its own reference) establishing the principle for the current works

· whether a marginal 45-degree breach above an already-infringing two-storey outrigger involves the new element projecting significantly above the rear boundary treatment height

· the precise terrace area in square metres against the 15sqm SPD threshold as the basis for a noise/disturbance finding
