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).
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 de-
volved administrations.
