If a similar application in the area has been refused, particularly if it was subsequently refused on appeal, this may be a useful precedent. The Planning Officer should be aware of such applications but it does no harm to restate the application and reason for refusal.

I have seen the reverse of this trick used by a developer. The submission 'respectfully' reminded the Planning Officer that a similar application which had been refused by the Council was subsequently allowed on appeal.
