Advice on chimney issue

A neighbouring house has recently been fitted with some sort of stove which naturally involves a chimney.

The problem is that the room from which the chimney protrudes is a single storey extension and the top of the chimney is level with the house’s first floor windows.

The chimney did not form part of the plans for which permission was granted but I’m not sure whether specific permission would necessarily be required.

The chimney emits foul smelling smoke which is felt in my own outdoor area and makes it uncomfortable to spend any time there.

Can anyone offer any advice on whether there’s any action I can take? From the council’s perspective, is it a planning issue or a pollution issue?

Thanks in advance.
