Vincent Crolla, 55, was refused permission to transform the unit at the corner of Slateford Road and Merchiston Grove after councillors ruled that it did not have enough ventilation for a gas cooker.

Despite fears that an extractor might cause a smell, Mr Crolla has now pressed on with plans to install a flue.
