I think there are Building Research Establishment guidelines for
daylight impact which you might want to google for. In Scotland
you can request a Daylight Impact Analysis so you may be able to
request the same in your area. Without such an analysis being
requested and the results failing the guidelines you won't have a
leg to stand on, subjective analysis is just no good. Also, I
don't think the demands are that onerous so you probably won't get
far in any case, sorry.

There are consultants who will do this for you (at a price of
course) with the benefit that they are providing hard numbers ("this
room currently enjoys 3.3 hours of sunshine; if the proposal is
built this will reduce to 1.2 hours") and planners will take their
reports more seriously than your vague assertion that it will cause
overshadowing. But, as you imply, the report may end up proving that
the modest requirements of the LPA are not being contravened.
