Environment Policy 22
ENV22 requires prevention of unacceptable harm to the environment and/or amenity of neighbouring properties. The flue was tested for potential smoke/smell nuisance but found acceptable at 7m separation with regulatory checks; prior overlooking issues addressed by condition, with no exacerbation of existing site topography effects.
