The application covers the retrospective installation of a stainless steel twin-wall flue on an existing two-storey semi-detached dwelling. The flue projects from the front roof slope just below the ridge line and terminates 650mm above the ridge. A previous application for a 2.3m flue on a single-storey extension at the same property (ref. The neighbouring occupants at No. 22 Glebe Aalin objected, raising concerns about smoke entering their home, proximity to the shared boundary, and potential health risks from smoke inhalation. The Environmental Protection Unit was consulted but had not responded by the time the report was written.
The flue was judged to have an acceptable visual impact and not to harm the amenity or living conditions of neighbouring residents.

Environment Policy 22: Development will not be permitted where it would unacceptably harm the environment and/or the amenity of nearby properties in terms of: i) pollution of sea, surface water or groundwater; ii) emissions of airborne pollutants; and iii) vibration, odour, noise or light pollution. 7.17.2 In addition to the above, changes in the activities associated with the current permitted use of land or a building, which in themselves do not constitute development and therefore do not require planning permission, can have an adverse impact on adjacent properties by virtue of noise, light or general disturbance. For example the addition of security lig hting on a property may cause light pollution affecting adjacent properties and the wider area. The introduction of new activities into established parks and recreation areas can have an impact on neighbours. In such cases the Department would advocate t he person or organisation considering the change to give careful consideration to the potential impact of such activity in terms of location, siting and design.
