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 area unless it is used in an
"exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the
smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary
of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean
Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015.
Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by
Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act
2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under section 16 of
the Environmental Better Regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993
including the designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can
contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements”
