Portable Gas cooking

During my latest inspection, i noticed a portage 2 burner stove with LPG 9kg bottle inside the kitchen on top of the electric stove.

They prefer that as " food tastes better"

Hi all,

A question regarding consent and kitchens.

I have read the 2004 BA and the 2016 amended "Guidance: Building work that does notrequire a building consent" I'm massively confused.
