How they reason — coded from their reports

Javed is precise about naming the exact reason a PRIOR application on the same site was refused (quoting the refusal wording directly, e.g. double-glazing 'harmed the special architectural and historic interest'), and tests whether the resubmission's specific amendment (single glazing instead of double) directly resolves that stated reason. On identical resubmissions of an extant-but-expiring permission, she notes explicitly that 'much of the previous assessment is the same' and focuses her report on the narrow delta between the two schemes.

Observable habits

· quotes the exact wording of a prior refusal reason on the same site and tests whether the specific amendment (a material change like single vs double glazing) directly resolves it

· on identical resubmissions of an about-to-expire permission, explicitly states that much of the previous assessment carries over and focuses the report on the narrow delta between the schemes

· distinguishes a listed building's higher-significance original spaces from a lower-significance later fabric (e.g. a later-date staircase) when judging whether removal is acceptable

What their reports consistently look for

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the exact wording of a prior refusal reason on the same site, and whether the current amendment specifically resolves it

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the narrow delta between a resubmitted scheme and an expiring extant permission it closely repeats

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: whether a feature being removed is original higher-significance fabric or a later, lower-significance addition

In their own words

Because of their detailed design, in particular the thickness and reflection of the glazing, the proposed double-glazed windows would harm the special architectural and historic interest of this grade II listed building
