“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
fi 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 devolved administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:

Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including
designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for
details of Clean Air Act requirements.
