This is a new one on me. It is certinaly not in GSIUR 1998 or AFAIK any
BS normative document.

In fact you could have an extractor in the room (implausible) or in an
adjoining open plan kitchen (plausible) with the open flue fire. However
the likelihood is that aditional permanent ventilation would have to be
provided.
