The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the
authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building,
from a furnace or from any xed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an
offence to acquire an «unauthorised fuel» for use within a smoke control areaunless it is used
in an «exempt» appliance («exempted» from the controls which generally apply in the smoke
control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to
authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In
Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those
countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern
Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas
have been «authorised» in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those
areas (other than «authorised» fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the
Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
