How they reason — coded from their reports

Gladstone's certificate-of-lawfulness reports for HMO/flat conversions marshal a dense evidentiary record — dated tenancy agreements, statutory declarations, bank statement rent entries — cross-checked tenant by tenant, while her householder extension reports repeatedly invoke the prevailing pattern of similarly non-compliant dormers/extensions nearby as the basis for accepting a shortfall against the Design Guide.

Observable habits

· cross-checks dated tenancy agreements, statutory declarations and bank-statement rent payments tenant by tenant to establish continuous use

· names a specific run of neighbouring properties with non-compliant dormers/extensions as evidence the shortfall would not be out of keeping

· runs the near-identical GPDO roof volume/checklist template repeatedly across sequential applications for similar roof works

What their reports consistently look for

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: a continuous, dated chain of tenancy agreements, declarations and rent payments covering the full qualifying period

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: a named list of neighbouring properties sharing the same non-compliant dimension to support a 'prevailing pattern' finding

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the roof-volume arithmetic and GPDO checklist worked through for each roof-alteration certificate
