Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, with particular regard to any noise and odour from the proposed flue
the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the building, the terrace and the area, with particular regard to its design, scale, and density

What decided it

The lack of precise details regarding noise and odour emissions from the proposed extraction flue meant the Inspector could not be satisfied that harmful effects to neighbouring occupiers could be adequately controlled, causing the proposal to conflict with development plan policies on amenity and takeaway uses.
