As far as I know they need to provide a shadow diagram for the proposal. This means that any other nearby property that is affected by shadow casting (sun) across the whole year period have to agree in writing for the structure to be allowed to be built. The council are the ones providing the letters to all of you guys to say I approve or not. If anyone says no the building can't be built.
I had to go through the same process when I built up my second storey in 2003. I had to get approval from the 5 adjacent neighbourghs. That's the law. Bring this up to the table. If they laugh then find a precedent and there are many. They'll stop laughing.
