CAA AND SMOKE CONTROL
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 fixed 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 bypublication
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.
