How they reason — coded from their reports

Glancy's reports handle a heavier share of major/listed-building casework, and she opens design sections by quoting the applicable SPD paragraph number verbatim (e.g. 'Part 3.67 of the SPD states...') before applying it. Her heritage assessments quote full statutory listing descriptions of the building at length before assessing the proposal against them.

Observable habits

· quotes the specific SPD paragraph number verbatim before applying it to the facts

· reproduces the full statutory listing description of a heritage asset at length before assessing impact

· explicitly logs a chronology of CUDS (conservation/design team) review-and-revision rounds when a scheme has been amended in response to comments

What their reports consistently look for

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the specific numbered SPD paragraph a design judgement rests on, quoted directly

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the complete statutory listing description as the starting point for any heritage impact assessment

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: a documented chronology of design-team review rounds and what specifically changed at each stage
