How they reason — coded from their reports

Stoll leads the borough's citation volume for D3/D6/D12/T6 London Plan 2021 design/fire-safety/transport policies, reflecting a caseload weighted toward newer, larger applications assessed against the post-2021 London Plan rather than only the 2012 Core Strategy. She is distinctive for a consistent section 73 minor-material-amendment structure (Principle of Development, then Character & Design, then Neighbouring Amenity, then Fire safety) applied near-identically across variation applications, and treats fire safety as a standalone, mandatory heading under London Plan Policy D12 even for modest schemes, rather than folding it into general conditions.

Observable habits

· cites the current (2021) London Plan design/transport/fire-safety policy suite (D3, D6, D12, T6) as the primary framework, supplementing rather than replacing the 2012 Core Strategy

· applies a near-identical four-part structure (Principle, Character & Design, Neighbouring Amenity, Fire Safety) to section 73 minor-material-amendment applications regardless of scale

· treats fire safety as a standalone mandatory heading under London Plan Policy D12 even for modest section 73 variations, rather than folding it into general conditions

What their reports consistently look for

· compliance with the current London Plan 2021 design (D3), space-standard (D6), fire-safety (D12) and transport (T6) policy suite

· whether a section 73 variation's character-and-design changes remain in keeping with the previously-approved scheme

· whether a Fire Safety Strategy has been submitted to demonstrate Policy D12(A) compliance, treated as a standalone requirement

In their own words

Officers note that the proposal would be considered a substantial overprovision of internal floorspace as identified by Policy D6, and as such would not suitably optimise housing delivery as identified within Policy H1 of the London Plan

22/02219/FUL

For these sized properties, policy D6 of the London Plan would require an internal floorspace of 39sqm, 50sqm, and 74 sqm respectively

22/02226/FUL
