Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Severn Dials (Covent Garden) Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to the flats in the upper floors of 76 Neal Street and with regard to odour
What decided it
The position and height of the flue would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area that would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits, and insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate that odour discharge would not adversely affect neighbouring residents' living conditions.
