Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the first floor flat as a result of the positioning of the extraction flue, with particular regard to noise, cooking odours and fumes
  • The effect of the extraction flue on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The extraction flue would expose occupiers of the first-floor flat to unacceptable levels of cooking odours and fumes via the bedroom window, resulting in unacceptable harm to their living conditions which the Inspector afforded significant weight.

The social and economic benefits of the restaurant and additional living accommodation were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of the first-floor flat.
