How they reason — coded from their reports

Wilkie's caseload is dominated by routine rear/side extensions and window replacements, and she runs a very consistent numbered i)/ii)/iii) 'Complies'/'Not Applicable'/'Does not comply' checklist against the SPD Key Principles for nearly every report. Her most distinctive habit is testing marginal HS6(i) 45-degree-angle breaches not against the guideline in the abstract but against whether the SPECIFIC neighbouring property already benefits from its own side infill extension, treating that existing parity as sufficient to satisfy the criterion. Where a proposal formally breaches a numeric depth or angle threshold, she is comfortable finding it acceptable by pointing to the site's own extension planning history (a prior approved or historic addition of similar or greater depth) rather than treating any breach as fatal, and she is willing to refuse where a combined-depth calculation genuinely exceeds the guideline with no such mitigating history.

Observable habits

· tests HS6(i) 45-degree outlook compliance by checking whether the specific affected neighbouring property already benefits from its own side infill extension at ground floor level, treating that as satisfying the criterion

· where a numeric depth guideline is breached, checks the site's own historic planning permissions (including old 'HIST' reference decisions) for a previously approved extension of comparable or greater depth before finding the departure acceptable

· runs the numbered i)/ii)/iii) SPD Key Principles compliance checklist consistently, explicitly marking 'Not Applicable' where a site condition (e.g. rear garden already over 9m, property abuts a railway or school) removes a criterion rather than silently omitting it

What their reports consistently look for

· whether the specific neighbouring property most affected by a rear or side extension already has its own side infill extension at ground floor level

· whether the site itself has a planning history of a previously approved extension of comparable or greater depth that mitigates a current numeric breach

· whether each numbered Key Principle criterion is explicitly marked Complies, Not Applicable, or Does not comply with the specific site condition stated

In their own words

The neighbouring No.22 benefits from a side infill extension at ground floor level. As such the proposals comply with this criterion.

officers have reviewed the site planning history and note that the ground floor has already been extended 3.5m into the rear garden under application (1974/00907/HIST)
