Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the extraction equipment on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of the upper floor residential flat at 271 Kensal Road, with particular regard to outlook
The effect of the extraction equipment on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 271 and 273 Kensal Road, with particular regard to noise, nuisance, and odour

What decided it

The proposed extraction duct would result in unacceptable harm to the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 271 Kensal Road due to its height, scale, and visual intrusiveness in close proximity to habitable room windows, making the development incompatible with the mixed commercial-residential setting.

Plan policies cited: Policy CL5, Policy CE6
