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 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.
