Aukett's basement casework tracks explicitly how a scheme evolved from a previously refused version, naming both prior refused references and stating exactly which elements were removed to overcome each specific reason. She distinguishes room types by whether they receive natural light at all, treating a windowless ancillary room differently from a habitable room lacking full compliance.
· names both prior refused application references on a site and states exactly which specific elements were removed to address each
· distinguishes windowless ancillary rooms (storage, workshop) from habitable rooms with partial daylight non-compliance, applying different standards to each
· assesses continuity of documentary evidence (tenancy agreements, council tax records) and explicitly flags a missing year as a gap rather than treating gaps as forgivable
· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the exact prior refused reference(s) on a site and precisely which elements were removed or changed to address each refusal reason
· what this officer's reports consistently look for: whether a basement room is habitable (needs full daylight assessment) or purely ancillary (storage/workshop, more tolerant standard)
· what this officer's reports consistently look for: a gap-free run of tenancy/council-tax evidence, explicitly flagging any missing year as insufficient rather than assuming continuity
“Changes have been made to the proposal in response to the refusal reasons for planning applications references 2019/3671 & 2019/1889. The part of the basement that extended into the rear yard has been removed, reducing the proposed floor space in the basement.”

“The proposed bedroom and workshop have daylight access via lightwells, however the quality of daylight/sunlight access to these rooms and the outlook is poor. The storage room and kitchenette would not receive any natural light. In this case, as it is providing ancillary residential floor space to the existing dwellinghouse, it is considered to be acceptable.”
2020/0114
“The evidence provided in support of the application is minimal, and there is a year missing in terms of the tenancy agreements. There are no Council tax records for the basement flat. The evidence provided does not satisfactorily demonstrate continued use of the basement and ground floors as two separate flats for a four year period.”
